Our very own XM² PGR Jessica Brown is participating in this year’s BBC University Challenge. She is representing the University of Exeter alongside Danny Lay (captain – Physics), Will Klintworth (History and IR) , and Simon Waitland (Natural Sciences).
“It’s been my childhood dream for as long as I can remember!”
The popular academic quiz is hosted by Jeremy Paxman, who asks a series of traditionally difficult and particularly specific questions that require a deep and diverse education to be able to answer. The players of the quiz are two teams of four students, who usually represent a single university, or in the case of students from Oxford and Cambridge Universities, the specific college to which they belong. The competition begins with 28 teams, with one team being knocked out and the other progressing to the next round until there is finally one series champion.
Jessica and the team are up against the University of Warwick on Monday 16th July on BBC2 at 8.30pm (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bbzgly).
Good luck to the team!
