Fancy being part of our 2018 University Challenge team?
Southampton’s 2015 University Challenge team captained by Patricia Goggin.
All students enrolled at the University until at least May 2018 are eligible to try-out on one of the following dates:
Thursday 26 October, 9:00 – 12:00 and 14:00 – 16:00
Friday 27 October, 12:00 – 17:00
Try outs will take place in Meeting Room 1, Level 1 of Building 42, Highfield Campus.
Trying out for the team starts with a 50-question written general knowledge test. The highest scorers will then be invited to take part in a Mastermind-style oral quiz. From there, a five-person team – four team members and a reserve – will be chosen to represent the University.
If you would like to take part but cannot make the dates published, please contact Patricia Goggin to make alternative arrangements. Patricia captained Southampton’s University Challenge team in 2015, which qualified for the second round of the televised stage of the competition.
“Please come and have a go,” says Patricia. “You’ve got nothing to lose by trying, and you may just surprise yourself!”
There is also a Facebook page where you can keep up to date with the progress of the team selection.
