The University of Auckland Presents
The Three Minute Thesis Competition
Grand Final: 3 September, 4pm.
The University of Auckland Business School, 12 Grafton Road, Auckland.
The Three Minute Thesis
Competition — also known as ‘Thesis Idol’ — is run
in universities worldwide. Students are given just three
minutes in which to explain the gist of their thesis. One
single powerpoint slide is permitted as a visual
aid.
The University of Auckland competition is
structured in heats with a University final. The
presentations are judged by a three person panel. The
entrants are judged on communication style, comprehension
and engagement.
The winner, first runner-up and second runner-up will each receive a watch from Citizen Watches. The winner will also receive $1000 and a trip to Queensland to compete in the Trans-Tasman final.
The heats will be held on September 1 and 2, and the finals will be held at OGGB from 4pm on Friday September 3, and will be followed by a prize giving, pizza and drinks. The finals are free and open to everyone to attend. They promise to deliver a fun afternoon of humour, competition, celebrity judges, networking and spectacle!
