Congratulations to the School of Economics Zigguarat Challege Team!

The economics team managed to come second overall, missing out due to a fantastic performance by BIO.

The school came first in three events (Pool, Sitting Volleyball and Bench Ball), and came top three in most events.

Our Head of School, Professor Emiliya Lazarova, came third in the staff champion category. Whilst Dr. Peter Dawson came first (for the fifth year running!) in the staff Champion Category.

The school also came first in the plate award for accuracy!

Overall the 2026 Ziggurat Challenge was a massive success, and we can't wait to participate again next year!
