How we reported this
The Biomedical Laboratory Engineering students from Erasmus University College Brussels reached the final of The Campus Cup and will face the Law team from KU Leuven tonight. The outcome will decide if a Brussels institution retains the title won last year by VUB Applied Linguistics students on VRT 1.
The competition brings together students from colleges and universities across Brussels and Flanders in a televised quiz. The Erasmus team advanced after a semi-final victory yesterday over the bio-engineers from Ghent University.
Semi-final result and team performance
The score stood at 6 to 3 in favour of the biomedical lab technicians. Their exemptions and quick answers allowed them to eliminate the Ghent side. Team members Wout, Lisa, Rana and Joachim now carry Brussels hopes into the decisive match.
Rana Petre said she felt satisfied simply to reach the final regardless of the result. She noted that the stress of possible elimination had eased once both teams had completed all episodes. Joachim Van Kerrebroeck described the path to the final as better than expected and said the experience had created new friendships among students who first met only an hour before the qualifying round.
Final broadcast and participant reflections
The final airs at 9.35 pm. A win would mark the first time a scientific programme has claimed the cup. Van Kerrebroeck added that the adventure had been worthwhile despite the pressure from national viewership and exams approaching soon.
