Writing Centre 3MT Workshops

3MT_header

The Writing Centre partners with the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS) to provide a number of workshops for graduate students preparing for the 3-Minute Thesis competition.

The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition brings together the Dalhousie community to give graduate student researchers a platform to share and celebrate their ideas and compete for cash prizes.

How does it work? You have three minutes to present your research in as engaging a manner as possible for an non-specialist audience, with one PowerPoint slide permitted as a visual aid.

Participation in 3MT is open to all students in research-based master’s and doctoral programs. Details on how to take part in next year's competition will be made available in early 2023.
