The 3rd Degree is a general knowledge and specialist subject quiz in which a team of three undergraduates compete against a team of three university academics, and it’s coming to Lancaster March 9th.

An email sent out by Lancaster University said: “The aim is to present an intellectually fulfilling and informative quiz”.

The format of the quiz will include “team questions, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and individual questions”.

The academics team consists of Cyrille Rollet, from the languages department, Dr Michael Greaney, an English Literature lecture, and Dr Helen Bruce, a marketing lecturer.

Students are encouraged to watch the quiz and cheer on both teams.

The quiz will be held in George Fox Lecture Theatre One.
