Shaun Cairns knows the University of Glasgow inside out – he’s been here as both an undergrad and a postgrad, and now he’s back as your kilted quizmaster.
With his trademark beard and sharp wit, Shaun will guide you through a quiz that mixes general knowledge with a Scottish twist, perfect for international students and home students alike.
Shaun has even appeared on University Challenge, Mastermind and The Chase – so he knows what it’s like to face the pressure of the big quiz stage. Don’t worry though: this one is more about laughs, new pals, and maybe learning something unexpected along the way.
Expect a laid-back evening of trivia with a twist, plus prizes ranging from SRC merch and Scottish treats to the much-coveted cuddly Highland coo.
Come solo or bring a team – either way, you’ll be in good company!
Attending on your own? No problem. Our friendly SRC Welcome Helpers in blue t-shirts will be there to greet you, help you settle in and make it easier to meet other students.
