Popular quiz University Challenge returns this term as YUSU opens the selection process to students keen to represent the University of York.
There are two phases to the selection process, and the top eight applicants from each stream in stage one will be invited to the live final to battle it out for the four team places and one reserve place.
Stage one of the process will be held Tuesday next week.
YUSU’s Academic Officer Dan Whitmore told Vision that he was keen to “bring home the bacon, vanquishing all who stand before them with displays of outrageous intellectual prowess”.
“If you do think you have what it takes to succeed the infamous ‘York Clemo’ as a legend of our time, do pop along and try to join the team!”
The written test will take place at 7pm next Tuesday. 50% of the questions will be in a particular specialism, and 50% will general questions.
The test will be split into 3 streams with candidates choosing one. The streams are: Arts and Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences.
The live final is set to premiere at 6pm on Monday 2nd December.
Following an exceptional performance against Bath in this year’s first round, York lost out to Somerville College, Oxford in the second round.
