Debating Society

Welcome to the MMU Debate Society!


About Us
Are you keen on debating? Interested in engaging discussions on a range of topics? Looking
to make new friends or simply in for some free snacks? You're in the right place! At the
MMU Debate Society, we bring together students with a passion for debate, discussion, and
community.


What We Offer
Diverse Debates: From social and political issues to pop culture phenomena, we
cover it all.
Friendly Environment: Whether you're a seasoned debater or new to the scene, our
society provides a welcoming and respectful platform for everyone to express their
views.

We also understand debating can be scary, so we welcome people to watch
our debates and join in when it feels right.
Regular Socials and Events: Join us for our regular get-togethers.
Skill Development: Not only do we debate, but we also help each other improve
public speaking, critical thinking, and argumentation skills.


Meeting Times
We will meet every Wednesday at 6pm
We are open to members and non-members, students and young professionals alike. If you
are a student from MMU and want to bring a friend, we are making the
membership free until the end of March. If you have a friend from UoM or a young
professional (under 25), they are more than welcome to join.

Frequently asked questions

Some societies are free to join, whilst others may have a small fee of around £5 to £10 for the whole year.

Your joining fees are then used to cover the running of the society (sometimes there’ll be extra costs if the society offers classes, special events or trips). 

Any questions? Drop the society a message or speak to us.

Current Manchester Met students are welcome to join our societies all year round.

Freshers Fair is a particularly great opportunity for you to meet and join our societies in person. 

For existing societies, committee members are chosen by members of the society through an online election. Elections take place in March ready for the upcoming academic year, and the role of committee member runs from July to June. 

For new societies, the founding members choose their committee to get started.

Fill out this booking form, giving at least one week’s notice to ensure the room is secured. You can request any bookable space in The Union or the University, but first make sure to check the building’s opening hours.

You should definitely wait for confirmation of your booking before spreading the word to your society members.
