The Medical Sciences DPhil Research Slam is a student-organised virtual competition, showcasing and celebrating the fantastic, multidisciplinary research carried out by DPhil students across the Medical Sciences Division at the University of Oxford


This two-stage competition will see candidates first compete in four heats for a place in the Grand finale, with just 5 minutes to show a scientific or creative presentation of their project.

In the scientific stream, traditional poster or slides aid original communication of the research.

In the creative stream, anything goes!

Audience members and senior judges will decide who makes it through to the Grand Finale, where cash prizes (& more!) await the winner and runner up of each stream!
