Do you think you have what it takes to be on the next official University of Bath, University Challenge team?
The legendary quiz, currently airing on BBC Two, pits two teams of four students from UK universities against each other in a battle of general knowledge. Each winning team progressing to the next round, until an overall series winner eventually emerges.
We are inviting all students to come along and take part in our session where you will be put to the test with practice questions sent directly from University Challenge.
We will be looking for 4 team members and a reserve, one member will need to be the team captain and will be responsible for coordinating all the relevant information from its team members.
So if you've always wanted to be on TV, are superb at your general knowledge and think you can represent Bath, come along and try out.
Please note provisions can be made for alternative tests or other forms of assessment according to specific needs.

2. Team members and the reserve member must not have appeared in the televised version of the Programme for any university or university college on any previous occasion.

studio recordings of the Programme.

7. Students on both full-time and part-time courses are eligible to participate in the Programme.
8. If an overseas student is studying at a UK university or university college as part of their course, they will be eligible to participate in the Programme, but only if they are studying at that UK institution for the whole period of recording.
9. Students who are undertaking a sabbatical, whether paid or unpaid, are not eligible to participate in the Programme if the period during which they undertake their sabbatical coincides with any of the recording dates for the Programme.
10. All team members and the reserve member must be students at the UK university or university college which is named on their Application Form for each separate recording in which they appear during the series of the Programme.
If a team member ceases to be a student (as defined in Eligibility Requirement 3 above) prior to or during the recordings of the Programme, they must inform the Programme producer immediately when they cease to be eligible to take part.
If a team member becomes ineligible to participate prior to the commencement of recording, they may be replaced by an eligible reserve member who must be part of the initial team selection process.
If a team member becomes ineligible after the recording has commenced then the team may have to withdraw from the competition. Only in exceptional circumstances will the Programme producer consider a reserve member replacing a team member who is no longer eligible. Please note the Programme producer’s decision is final in this regard.
