Showcase your thesis and win cash prizes!

As an HDR student, you’re probably pretty practised at explaining the intricacies of your research to industry peers and your supervisors. But how good are you at ‘selling’ your complex work to the everyday person?

Here’s your chance to present your research in a clear, concise and compelling way to a general audience. Refining your topic into an enticing elevator pitch will help build your presentation, communication, interview and creative skills – oh, and you could win some cold hard cash along the way.

Deakin is currently running two thesis competitions – here’s what’s involved.
