UCL Population Health Three Minute Thesis winners announced
26 May 2020
On 21 May ten Doctoral students from across the Faculty competed in the UCL Population Health Sciences Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Final hosted by Faculty Graduate Tutor, Dr Andrew Stoker.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition asks Doctoral candidates to present their research in just three minutes, in language appropriate to non-specialists, and with only one single presentation slide to support them.
A panel of judges decided on the overall winner and runner-up by scoring finalists against specific criteria set out by 3MT® – communication style, scientific comprehension and engagement with the audience. After much deliberation, owing to the excellent standard on show, we are delighted to announce this year's winners:
Alice Armitage | UCL Population Health Sciences (3MT®) Winner
“What matters to you?" Research and policy recommendations on health needs of migrant children and young people
Memta Jagtiani | UCL Population Health Sciences (3MT®) Runner-up
