Institute of Leadership in Higher Education

The University of Sharjah's Institute of Leadership in Higher Education (ILHE) organized the Three Minute (3M) competition on April 26, 2023. This event challenged students to deliver concise and compelling three-minute research presentations to a general audience. The competition aimed to enhance participants' ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.

To prepare students, ILHE conducted interactive workshops on presentation skills. A panel of faculty experts evaluated each presentation based on clarity, persuasion, and communication strategies. The audience also had the opportunity to vote for their favorite speaker.

The competition awarded a cash prize of AED 3000 to the winner, AED 2000 to the second prize winner, and AED 1000 to the third prize winner. The audience's favorite speaker also received a cash prize of AED 500.

Introduction

Get ready for the second round of our 3M competition! 

The ability to communicate capstone projects, theses or dissertations to general audience in 3 minutes or less is an important skill that we hope all of UoS students are able to master.

A competition, that mimics the 3M competition that was originally inaugurated by the University of Queensland, is organized by the UoS under two major categories:

• Undergraduate (Capstone/Theses)
• Postgraduate (Theses/Dissertation)

Each college will nominate up to three candidates for each of the categories to compete at the University level. These three candidates would be the finalists of a similar competition that is held at the University level.
