It will feature groups of new Fife College students going head-to-head as they test their general knowledge.

The quiz is one of several events being put on by the college Students’ Association as part of this year’s fresher’s festival.

Other events include a socially-distanced screening of Back to the Future with students encouraged to attend in fancy dress, and a live-streamed book event with authors Claire Askew and Neil Broadfoot.

They have been organised to ensure that students don’t miss out on the experience while still observing health and safety guidelines.

Mark said: “I’m really looking forward to hosting this quiz, and getting to virtually meet some of their students.

“The current circumstances have led to a lot of changes, so it’s great that we’re able to put on an event like.

“I hope that everyone taking part is ready for some tough questions!”

Sarah Ferguson, president of the Students’ Association,said: “ I’m delighted that we’ve been able to organise such a variety of different evenings for them to enjoy.

“This is obviously a challenging time to be starting your studies, but we were determined to make sure that those starting at Fife College didn’t miss out on the student experience.”
