We're hosting a University Challenge style quiz, which is open to all students. Whether you're just a big quizzer or believe you've got what it takes to compete in this classic and longstanding BBC quiz competition, we'd love for you to take part. We'll crown the winner of the UEL quiz, and use the results of the quiz as the base for potential TV selection.
What is University Challenge? Am I a suitable contestant?
University Challenge is a longstanding quiz competition between students at different universities. Filmed in a studio, university teams compete in a tournament to answer questions. The questions are delivered verbally (and not repeated!) and cover a wide range of topics. Teams are required to have a broad and deep collective knowledge - you can watch previous episodes and get a sense of the questions on BBC iPlayer and YouTube. You'll also need to be quick-thinking and confident on camera.
Please note that the TV production company will hold their own team auditions, and not all university teams who apply will appear on television.
Eligibility requirements
You must be available for all potential filming dates - 25-28 February, 25-27 March and 23-25 April 2025 - and be a student until at least 30 April 2025.
