Debates Society

Debating and the art of successful argumentation is one of the most distinguished and transferable skills you will learn at University. Debating offers you invaluable coaching and experience in public speaking as well as the opportunity to build your confidence!
We offer you regular topical debates, the chance to travel around the UK, Ireland and beyond to competitions, guest speakers and great nights out.
For more information contact the Debates Convenor, Neil Campbell at debatesconvenor@theunion.strath.ac.uk or visit the Society's website at www.strathdebates.com.
