Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition in UiTM on 2nd April 2015

For the first time in history, UiTM had organized the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition on 2nd April 2015 at ILQAM, UiTM Shah Alam.

All PhD students were encouraged to participate. Winners will be representing Uitm for the national 3MT competition in UTM KL on 12th May 2015.

As I love talking about my Phd study and after getting wholesome support from my family and labmates, I decided to take part in this oral competition.

"Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) celebrates the exciting research conducted by PhD students. Developed by The University of Queensland, the exercise cultivates students' academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. "

Look what I brought back after the competition.. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah.




And thank you to my darling Mikhail who had helped me to time myself (and rehearse) over and over again.

What is a hooding ceremony?

I have always been intrigued by this event called 'the hooding ceremony' since I began my student life in UiTM about 3 years ago.

Yesterday I saw a post on the hooding ceremony (again) when my other half was browsing through IPSis UiTM's FB page.
