Visualise Your Thesis Competition (VYT) 2020
What is VYT?
Visualise Your Thesis is a successful competition format developed by The University of Melbourne. It provides an opportunity for postgraduate students to showcase their graduate research and to build essential digital communication skills to effectively communicate complex research to a general audience.
Using a pre-supplied template, entrants are tasked with developing a striking, audio-visual presentation that presents their research project via a short and engaging digital narrative.
The VYT competition at the University of Johannesburg will take place on Thursday, 20 August 2020. The competition is open to registered master's students and PhD candidates, at any stage of their research.
