The Debate Society has one main goal; to create a safe space where discussions on a wide range of topics can take place. We are an inclusive society that encourages students to join us from any course and any stage of study - no matter your experience, you're welcome at Debate Society.

Sessions run every Thursday from 6pm to 8pm and we have four topics to debate each session. We keep our sessions informal; everyone can speak as much or as little as they would like. A poll is sent out weekly so members can decide on what motions they would like to debate each week, those can include anything from politics to films. Whilst some of our topics are serious and focus on current events others are lightheaded and fun so there’s something for everyone. After the debate session we often go for a drink and a chat.

Feel free to pop along for session to see if it suits you, if it does pick up a membership and head over to Facebook to join our members only group!
