Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies
Browse by
The faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies offers a number of services to graduate students to help them hone their professional skills and development during their tenure at Ontario Tech. They have facilitated the 3 Minute Thesis competition since 2013. The competition is a university-wide competition for graduate students in which participants present their research and its wider impact in three minutes or less to a panel of non-specialist judges.
