Practice your debating skills at BPP!
Welcome to the BPP Debating Society! We are a new student society who provide a place to develop your confidence and ability in oral argument and public speaking. If you're studying a law course you will be tasked with persuading countless people over the course of your career, from pupillage or training contract interview panels to magistrates and judges (and your clients). There is no better way to improve than to practice, and no better time to start practicing than now!
We run a session at 6pm every Thursday in Room 4.7 at BPP's Holborn Campus. Each week we will run a British Parliamentary Debate on a new motion. Don't worry - there's no requirement for any experience or preparation in order to attend. Everyone is welcome!
If you come to a session you will be given opportunities to participate in different ways: to debate as one of the eight speakers, to provide feedback as part of a judging panel, or simply to observe the debate in the audience (and maybe to pick up some tricks from those debating!).
If you are interested in receiving emails from the society notifying you about events we're running and how you can get involved, you can "purchase" a membership from this page which allows us to add your student email to our mailing list. Don't worry, it's totally free and doesn't commit you to anything.
See you on Thursday!
