SQU holds 3-Minute Thesis Competition

MUSCAT: The 3-Minute Thesis Competition, which provides an opportunity to share postgraduate research in a competitive context, was organised on Wednesday by the Deanship of Postgraduate Studies at Sultan Qaboos University. Started last year, the contest has gained wide recognition. Postgraduate students not only present their theses showing their scope and significance, they also do it in a competitive manner in three minutes. By doing so, they are now able to communicate their research precisely and competently to their future employer and other potential enterprises. The number of the participants is 6 for the Arabic session and 11 for the English session. The 3-minute Thesis Competition (3MT) is an international competition, which was originally developed by the University of Queensland in Australia to allow thesis-based graduate students to deliver a compelling presentation on their research and its significance in less than three minutes. Today, there are 3MT university competitors in more than 120 universities across 19 countries and Sultan Qaboos University is one of these universities.
