About us
Whether you’ve been debating for years or want to try it out for the first time, the University of Birmingham Debating Society is for you. Everyone is welcome!
This year, we’re going to be running weekly workshops on competitive and public debating, led by both our committee members, and debating experts that we’ve somehow persuaded to help us out.
Additionally, we’re going to be running regular informal debates and socials, delving into complicated topics in a more relaxed atmosphere.
To top this all off, we also send teams to national competitions throughout the year. This is a great opportunity for you to visit other universities and meet even more likeminded people.
If you’d like to know more, reach out to us on social media or come along to one of our sessions!
