But why debate?
Take it directly from our students! Debate can make all the difference.
For some, it’s about sharpening critical thinking and learning how to communicate ideas more effectively. For others, it’s the thrill of the intellectual challenge, or the opportunity to engage with different perspectives and grow in confidence. Hear from our first-year students as they share their personal reasons for choosing debate, and how it’s shaping their lives.
