Edinburgh University Debates Union

The Edinburgh University Debates Union is the second oldest society at the University of Edinburgh and for the last 126 years the Union has functioned as the student’s center for social and political dialogue. 

Today we continue this tradition through weekly meetings, debates and by bringing notable academic or cultural figures to speak at our public events. We welcome any student or guest of the University to come to our weekly workshops and partake in the controversial, news relevant, or simply fun debates.
