HKAPA's first ever Three Minute Thesis Competition was successfully held on 5 December 2018.

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic competition that challenges Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidates to describe their research within three minutes to a general audience. 

At HKAPA there were a total of 7 participants from 5 different schools, and around 30 audience members comprising teachers and students.

The 3MT® Competition was a lively way of engaging students to gain experiences in presenting research. It also contributed to an active culture of PaR by making student research practice visible within the Academy.
