Three Minute Thesis Competition 2011

The 2011 Three Minute Thesis Competition final was held on Wednesday 31 August in the Dunedin College of Education Auditorium, and was also streamed live online. With the help of only one static slide, nine finalists from across the university had just three minutes each in which to present their doctoral research.

Our panel of judges was chaired by Vice-Chancellor Harlene Hayne, who was assisted by Professor Lyall Hanton from the Department of Chemistry and Associate Professor Paul Hansen from the Department of Economics.
