16 Jan 2024

The Manchester team were up against Birkbeck - London in the latest programme

University Challenge team

The Manchester's team progress in the competition has seen a marked contrast - they survived a tie-break in the first round against Trinity College - Cambridge, but their second round match against Edinburgh was smoother having taken an early sizeable lead.

This quarter-final stage of the competition is a double elimination round - having won against Birkbeck - London, Manchester need to win their next match at least to be in with a chance of progressing to the semi-finals. 

The team successfully answered questions on potatoes in art, the Ashanti people of West Africa, and languages of Taiwan.
