Debating
DebateSoc exists to promote informed, intelligent debate in all aspects of human enquiry.
This year, the Debating Society is holding its second annual inter-varsity tournament on 1st November. It's going to be a fantastic day and it's all been made possible by the generous support of Glencore and the Imperial College Finance Society.

We meet weekly to discuss and debate the hot topics of the time and to coach members for competitions. The society sends teams all over the world to compete against other universities.
A good debater knows how to think logically, and to present their ideas cogently. Our generation of scientists and engineers are increasingly being expected to form opinions and, vitally, to defend their views and persuade others. DebateSoc provides the perfect platform to develop these skills.
But it’s not all hard work and high-brow thinking! DebateSoc is a great place to get to know new people. Weekly meetings move to the Union bar and competitions mix rigorous thought with a dedication to social events! We can’t wait to get going, and it’s really exciting to be welcoming a new intake of debaters.
