Sign up to our Mailing List to get weekly updates about the society and take a look at our events page to find out what's coming next!                    

 

Want to discuss interesting topics, debate competitively, become a part of a welcoming community, or just improve your public speaking skills? 

Then the Debating Society has you covered

  • Come along to one of our weekly debate and discussion sessions which are designed to be accessible as possible for beginners. Our sessions are held on Tuesday evenings (6-7:30 pm) with the opportunity to chat and get to know each other better afterwards at our informal pub socials. 

  • We also offer a range of regular socials from low-key pizza nights to drunken debates! Socials are an excellent opportunity to meet new people and just have some fun. Check out the ‘events’ section for more!

  • As well as socials, we also run a variety of different events, including formal debate competitions with other universities (intervarsity); training workshops; opportunities to meet guest speakers; collaborations with other societies, and more!

 

Benefits of being a member 

  • Discounted tickets at all of our paid events 
  • Helping to fund our society which almost completely relies on membership funds to pay for events, speakers and our campaigns. 
  • Being able to stand for positions on the committee and vote in them
