Debating

The University's debating society, the Durham Union Society, is one of the oldest student debating societies in the world and attracts notable speakers such as Sir Ian Blair, David Davis, Terry Waite, Rory Bremner and Barry Norman.

It's also a lively forum for you to get involved in discussing a wide range of topics - from the war in Iraq, to designer babies. Whether you want to make your voice heard, compete in the UK debating circuit, or simply understand more about the issues that affect us all, you'll be very welcome at the Durham Union Society.
