Philosophy & Debating FAQs
Do you do any events?
Yes! Every semester we host our popular "Speed Debating" event, which is widely enjoyed by our members. We also run movie nights, picnics, invite guest speakers and more!
What topics do you discuss/debate?
We cover a broad range of topics, from social and political issues, to more philosophical ideas and sometimes sillier debates! We welcome any suggestions for topics from members, just ask.
Do I need to have experience in debating or philosophy to be a member?
Nope, not at all! We at the Philosophy and Debating Society have a very relaxed environment. There's no pressure to be a expert in anything. An interest in expressing your opinion and listening to others is all that's needed! More challenging topics will be explained by our committee. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we love to help!
About Philosophy & Debating Society

What is the Philosophy & Debating Society all about?

The aim of the Philosophy & Debating Society is to provide a place where students can get together to talk philosophy and to debate topics of interest to them. We focus on cultivating an environment where people feel comfortable to share their own opinions and back themselves up when disagreement arises! 

We separate our philosophy and debating events, so you can engage with whichever part you're interested in! The first event of every week focusses on philosophy and takes place in the form of 'hangouts' every Tuesday at 6-8pm.

You do not need to have any prior knowledge of philosophy to join in, just an interest in the subject and a willingness to keep things civil!

The second weekly event focusses on debating, this takes place every Thursday from 6-8pm. This is a very open and relaxed environment, and a great opportunity to have your say and debate your opinions.

You shouldn't fear not having debating experience, we're here to help each other improve and there's still plenty of space for friendly banter!

Additionally, the Philosophy & Debating society hosts occasional events such as our very popular Speed Debating event, coffee mornings, movie screenings and outdoor discussion sessions!
