Welcome

We’re the largest debating union based in Manchester that encompasses the city’s institutions of higher education. Since we were founded in 1996, we have grown to be one of the UK’s most active debating societies.

Try competitive debate

We facilitate our members’ involvement with the InterVarsity competitive debating circuit, and send teams both domestically and internationally.

Join our training sessions

We conduct two weekly training sessions on Monday and Tuesday in University Place, University of Manchester. Learn how to speak in public, form persuasive arguments, and see issues from all sides.
