Who Are We? 

Warwick Debating Society is one of the country's most active and successful debating societies, giving Warwick students the chance to learn about public speaking, persuasion and current affairs, as well as travel and compete across the UK and the world. The society meets twice a week for a training session and debate often followed by a chat.

If you're thinking of joining, feel free to come along to any of our events, purchase a membership and join our Facebook group as well as following us on Instagram @WarwickDebating!

As a society, we debate everything worth talking about in the world today, and travel both nationally and internationally to tournaments. We have top-quality training for new debaters showcased by our competition successes involving regional wins and international breaks. We regularly reach elimination rounds of national competitions, and are three-times European quarterfinalists.

We also host public debates with high-calibre expert speakers and other leading figures through our subcommittee, the Warwick Debating Union.

What do members gain? 

For only £5, our members get their first competition's registration fee fully covered, 50% off registration for all future competitions and access to our financial accessibility fund (as well as freshers representitive oppertunities).

The Social Side

Our Social Secretaries and Welfare Officers organise events that showcase the social and inclusive side of debating! We run circles every term as well as bar crawls and drunk debates :) We also do sober socials such as games night s and pub quizzes, alongside special celebration themed debates too. Later in the year, you can look foreward to our Debate Ball and with our amazing exec team there is something for everyone to enjoy!
