University Challenged is a general knowledge competition akin to the popular BBC version, bringing together mixed teams of staff and students who compete in a series of heats leading to a grand final.
This is an an entertaining and sociable way for the University community to connect and network with each other, with the attraction of healthy competition!
A plaque in the Hartley Library near the help desk displays details of the winners in successive years.
