In order to succeed in almost every career today, the ability to construct arguments, debate with others, and speak publicly is absolutely crucial. Unfortunately, very few courses at Roehampton offer students the opportunity to develop these skills, but not to worry — that’s where we come in!
Our vision as a society is to offer students a platform to discuss contemporary issues that affect our daily lives. We strive to build a diverse, supportive and welcoming community where our members will have the opportunity to build essential skills that will develop their personal and professional attributes. Our meetings will encourage members to think critically about pressing issues in the news and articulate coherent arguments to put forward in a debate.
We will hold weekly debating meetings on Monday evenings and welcome all Roehampton students regardless of prior debating experience.
Updates and further information about our meetings, and events including the venue of our meetings will be sent out via our members' university email addresses and on our Instagram account.
Membership is £ 2,00
