IBS Three Minute Thesis Competition

The IBS language courses are designed to help students develop skills for academic, specific and professional purposes.  In English VI, the skills and knowledge students have gained in the previous five English courses are brought together in a grand finale, the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition.

The 2023 IBS 3MT roundtables took place on 16th and 17th June. Click here for the 2023 competition programme, which provides links to all contributions.

How does it work?

Students present their own research in a three-minute recorded presentation and a written exposé, and then discuss their work in roundtable sessions. Competition winners are selected by a jury of faculty members. Click here for a video guide to the competition.

3MT presentation

The presentation challenges students to present their research project knowledgeably, concisely, accessibly and engagingly for experts and non-experts alike in just three minutes.

Exposé

The exposé requires students to concisely articulate their own research project by giving an overview of the topic, explaining the research motivation, providing a review of key literature and outlining the methodology.

 

 

Roundtables

The roundtable sessions provide a venue for moderated discussion of topics, which are open to the public. Topics include, for example, digitalisation, TAF, sustainability, international business, entrepreneurship HR, management, and marketing.
