UCLU Debating Society

Cuncti Adsint Meritaeque Expectent Praemia Palmae

1828

Welcome to UCLU Debating Society, UCL’s oldest and arguably most prestigious society, but one that is always open to everyone who wishes to attend. Below is a brief summary of the many facets of this exciting, innovative and busy society!

Get Involved

A few weeks into term and there will be opportunities for members old and new including chances to help in our competitions, voluntary work and publicity. How much you choose to do is up to you. Some just come to our Monday public debates, some prefer our workshops and others like to attend our exclusive events. The society is entirely at your service.

The core to this year at debating is opening it up to everyone and building on our work from last year. Whether you’ve joined us before, or have never been, and particularly if you have come but weren’t keen please do come to our events this term. You’ll find an open committee with a range of views on many subjects but a shared commitment to maintain the excellence of UCL Debating and make it accessible to every member whatever role they wish to play in the society. We remain a politically and religiously neutral society in the spirit of UCL’s founding principles but foster and encourage debate on the leading issues of our day. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very best wishes and I hope to see you soon,

Ayub Hanif
President of UCL Union Debating Society
