Warwick reaches University Challenge final

The University of Warwick has reached the final of BBC Two's University Challenge, one of the UK's most prestigious and fiercely contested quiz competitions.

Warwick was one of 28 universities from across the UK to take part in this year's series and has now made it to the final two.

The university in Coventry is now vying for its third win, having taken home the trophy in 2007 and 2021.

This year's team is captained by maths student Oscar Siddle, joined by Ananya Govindarajan (engineering), Thomas Hart (maths), and Benjamin Watson (philosophy, politics, and economics).

Oscar Siddle said: "It's been a great experience – hanging out with the other teams backstage, getting to see the ins and outs of television production, and entertaining our semi-serious long list of acquired superstitions.

"Hopefully everyone's as excited for the final as we were to play it."

They will take on Christ's College Cambridge in the final, to be aired on Monday 12 May on BBC Two at 20:30 BST.
