We pride ourselves at Debate Society on being well known on campus for providing a great opportunity to make new friends and engage in a broad range of discussions whilst considering a wide variety of viewpoints. We welcome students to join us from any course and any stage of study - no matter your experience, you're welcome at Debate Society. 

Sessions typically run from 6 pm to 8 pm where members can debate different topics that have been pre-selected ahead of each session. Our topics vary weekly but can include politics, science, international affairs, and even conspiracy theories. We also try to hold themed Debates every so often to mix things up and let members loose on something a bit different. Whilst we officially end at 8 pm, we welcome our members to continue on to the pub afterwards for a drink and a chat. 

We try to keep things relatively informal so members can contribute as much or as little as they would like during a given session. There is no pressure to speak so you’re welcome to come and listen for a few sessions if you don’t feel up to jumping in right away. 

If you’ve picked up a membership, make sure you head over to Facebook and join our members-only group!
