Visualise Your Thesis


Visualise Your Thesis is an international competition for graduate researchers. It challenges competitors to develop a striking, audio-visual presentation that presents their research project via a short and engaging digital narrative.

How does it work?

You are challenged to develop an audio-visual presentation that presents your research project in a 60-second digital narrative. It is an opportunity to showcase your research and develop your digital communication skills by translating complex research ideas into a format that can engage a general audience.

How is this different to 3MT?

You don’t need to be the centre of attention! Your presentation can be entirely visual, include or not include a voiceover, and you can feature creative components such as music, photographs, video or animation. (Note: 3MT is still going ahead!)

How do I get involved?

The Graduate Research School (GRS) will invite HDR candidates to submit an entry into our qualifying competition. Eligible submissions will be displayed on our website. A selection panel will choose one competitor to represent Western Sydney University at the international competition. There will also be a voting round for a People’s Choice Award!
