Who are we?
Chittagong University Debating Society (CUDS), the central debate organization of the University of Chittagong, was established in 1996 by some passionate students with a vision to establish free speech and logical thinking within the students of the University of Chittagong. After its initiation, successively, It has got some cordial guardian named Prof. Dr. Mahbubul Haque (2000 to 2015), Prof. Dr. Emran Hossain (2015 to 2018) , Prof. Dr. ABM Abu Noman (2018 to present) as its moderators who have played noteworthy roles to ensure current success.
Training
Whether you’re a seasoned debater or you’re new to it, we have a range of training sessions to suit your needs. We hold two training sessions every week covering debating rules and strategy as well as relevant and informative topics that come up during competitions. These could be anything from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to economic policy in developing countries.
Competitions
Having trained you, we will send you to regular debating competitions across the UK to practice your new skills. New debaters can choose to be paired with one of our more seasoned debaters to help you navigate the debating circuit and quickly improve your skills. You can also try out for Team Warwick and represent the University in the European or World Debating Championships.
Public Debates
If you get tired of your own voice or just need a small break from being in front of the judges, then you can sit back and enjoy one of our public debates. These debates are always very high-profile and cover a very diverse range of topics – from international relations to news issues, religion and economics.
Achievements that we are proud of
CUDS members regularly compete and judge at debating competitions around the country and abroad. It does not matter who you are, the society will help people to go and debate. CUDS have had successes in all types of competitions and by a variety of members, from those in their first year to their fifth year of debating.

WHY DEBATE?

Rafi
I debate because there isn’t a greater way to get better at pitching ideas, thinking on your feet and approaching problems from different angles!
Sayma
I debate because debating teaches me how to structure my thoughts and construct effective arguments. This really helps with my essay writing!
Sarah
I debate for the love of learning. I can’t help but want to know more about the world in a way that i can explain
