'Discussing what divides'
A vibrant student society, with a mission to promoting open debate on campus between the student body and world-renowned guests.
About our Society
Debates designed to make you think.
Founded in 2025, the Edinburgh Union builds on the heritage of Edinburgh as a centre for academic, social and political thought. Hosting debates throughout the year, the Edinburgh Union brings together individuals with opposing views to champion their opinions whilst opening themselves up to criticism. As a platform for ideas, the Edinburgh Union is about engaging with and educating ourselves on the most important issues we face today. Democracy only functions when we discuss the issues that divide us with a willingness to re-assess our beliefs. We hope to build a society that challenges preconceptions and where we can appreciate different perspectives to our own.
Debates
Winter Term
At the start of the winter and summer semesters, the Union releases its Term Card, detailing the season's debate programme. Ahead of each event, we announce a roster of distinguished guest speakers, offering students the unique opportunity to share the floor with them. Tickets are released exactly one week prior to each event.
Community
Socials and Events
Throughout the semester we host a wide variety of socials and events to get stuck into, be they in the pub, on the meadows or dancing somewhere else. It is a great way of making new friends and enjoy each others company.
