Queen's University Belfast will be among the 28 teams of hopefuls when University Challenge returns for a new series on BBC Two next month.
The new series will begin on BBC Two on Monday 12 August at 8.30pm as Amol Rajan returns for his second season as host.
"It's been a summer of great competition on our screens, with high drama, tense finishes, and shining talent," said Rajan.
"And the thrilling new series of University Challenge continues in that vein.
"The standards are high, the students are magnificent, and the starters for 10 as addictive as ever. Please join us!"
Kalpna Patel-Knight, BBC Head of Entertainment Commissioning, added: "Amol's first series with University Challenge blew audiences out of the water.
"[I'm] Really excited he is back with more incredible University teams going head-to-head.
"This new series will be sure to have audiences shouting at their screens once again and I'm looking forward to the next big moment."
