  • Topics are wide ranging and this year’s focus is on ‘Community’.
  • Presentations are usually short – just 5-10 mins

Annual Undergraduate 3-Minute Thesis Notification Signup!

UBC Annual Undergraduate 3-Minute Thesis Event!

The annual UBC Undergraduate 3MT Event, funded by the PURE award, is targeted at undergraduate students doing research and/or are putting together a thesis.

The application is a recorded 3 minute thesis (3MT) that showcases the significance of the student’s research communicated to a general audience. This year, applications are adjudicated in three rounds by professors and the top 10 will compete at a live final event to a general audience for cash prizes and a feature on our website.

All applicants will receive written feedback on their research communication skills from UBC post doctorates and professors across different disciplines. The winners will win cash prizes and some may be invited to present at MURC, as in previous years.

The initial application deadline is mid/late-January and primarily focuses on the student’s ability to convey the significance of their research to a general audience. The final event occurs in February and is open to the general public. This year, we will livestream it so that people around the world can tune in. Last year we had an audience of 100 people (our Zoom call maxed out) and we hope to grow this enthusiasm!

Looking for a MSc Student Interested in Mental Health and One Welfare to Apply ASAP // For Senior Undergrads

Hi folks,

I’m looking for a domestic student to apply for a Mitacs/Mental Health Research Canada internship and MSc looking at dairy and beef farmer mental health (and how it relates to cattle health and welfare).

If you know of any keen students, could you please let them know or let me know? They would need to apply to the university today (or early next week) but I have the Mitacs/MHRC application almost complete.

Thanks so much,

Meagan
