Think you know your stuff? Prove it.

EDPSA (Engineering and Design Postgraduate Student Association) is bringing the postgraduate students across the Faculty of Engineering and Design together for an afternoon of trivia, pizza, and questionable general knowledge. Turn up solo or with mates – either way you'll be sorted into a random team, so expect to meet people from cohorts and departments you've never set foot in. Five rounds stand between you and glory, and no, we're not telling you what they are. Prizes for the winners and runners-up, bragging rights for everyone else. Once the scores are settled, stick around for the mixer – pizza, soft drinks, and the chance to talk to someone who isn't your supervisor or the same three people from your study space.

Free to attend, spots are limited, so register early:
