The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) was initially developed at the University of Queensland (UQ), Australia and has since spread to other universities, with this being the first competition in Scotland.  Finalists from the Glasgow competition went on to represent the University at the national final in Leeds, where Alexia took 3rd prize.
