We look forward to seeing our current and former students take part in iconic quiz team tournaments, University Challenge and Only Connect.

University Challenge, 9 September
The Wadham team of Aarav Billore (BA Economics and Management), Arthur Bellamy (BA English Language and Literature), Captain, Jonathan Worden (MSc Mathematical and Theoretical Physics), and Anjali Cheung (MSc Experimental Psychology), were selected following general knowledge trials held by the Students' Union Bar and Social Reps. The team's diverse mix of subjects stands them in good stead for the challenge of University Challenge!
We wish our team well and look forward to seeing them compete against St Catharine's College, Cambridge, on 9 September.
Wadham alumni's Only Connect team
Only Connect
The team of former Wadham students comprises Max McGenity (PPE), Iona Twaddell (Experimental Psychology) and Molly Glaze (nee Piggott - Biochemistry), all of whom matriculated in 2011. They lived together on a floor of staircase 9 in their third year at Wadham, along with Iona's now husband, Dan Haile.
The friends starting playing Only Connect as a group while at Wadham. They have applied a few times, as they enjoy meeting up, before being selected this year for series 20. The brain teasing quiz hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell 'where knowledge only gets you so far' is described as 'deliciously devious and maddeningly abstract'.
We wish the team good luck in Only Connect on 2 September! We hope that it will be another highlight with a link to their time at Wadham.
