3MT® coaching

3MT® coaching

Three Minute Thesis or 3MT® coaching supports PhD researchers as they are challenged to explain their research topic and its significance in just three minutes to a non-specialist audience. It is a prestigious communication competition open to all PhD researchers in the UK.  

Communicating research to a non-specialist audience is a key skill for doctoral candidates of all disciplines. The 3MT® is the ultimate opportunity to build these communication skills!

The award-winning Doctoral College supports Ulster University researchers throughout their PhD to reinforce their academic achievements.

Ulster University first entered the 3MT® in 2018. They worked with Bespoke Communications to offer 3MT® coaching to their PhD researchers.

What people have to say about 3MT® coaching

Bespoke Communications training was exceptional. The group training, they provided to all participants, was clear, informative, and very engaging. In my one-to-one work, Camilla was passionate about finding ways to increase impact and their expertise is incomparable. Working with Bespoke Communications, fostered encouragement, passion, and a drive to perform. It made me excited to compete in the final and increased my confidence.  With their help I was awarded first place in the 3MT at Ulster University. I could not have done it without their help and guidance.

Camilla and Sarah’s training sessions demystified the art of storytelling. I was guided on how to structure my ideas to achieve coherence and flow without losing engagement with my audience. Sarah and Camilla took time to review my talk in detail, creatively reconstructing some parts of it to increase impact. As I incorporated their advice on techniques while rehearsing my talk, I gained more confidence in both my content and style of delivery. Sarah and Camilla’s expertise not only equipped me to give a decent 3MT talk but also earned me the top prize.

She made me think of ways of communicating complex ideas effectively to a non-specialist audience. She was wonderful to work with and was a great source of encouragement.  Being trained by Bespoke Communications can help you achieve great public communication skills.
