Welcome to the 177th year of the Debating & Political Society

The voice of Bangor University since 1849

The Bangor Debating & Political Society is the oldest student society in Wales and the home for politics and debating at Bangor. Founded in 1849, for nearly two centuries we have been the home for students who love to challenge ideas, explore diverse perspectives, and master the art of persuasion.

Whether you're a seasoned economist or just curious about public speaking, the Debating & Political Society offers a dynamic and inclusive environment for you to grow. Our weekly debates cover everything from current affairs and politics to philosophy and pop culture. We provide a platform for you to find your voice, build confidence, and engage with the issues that matter most.
