The Cambridge Union Society is the oldest and most prestigious student debating society in the world. Founded in 1815, it has welcomed speakers from across the world and across generations. From Prime Ministers to archbishops, from generals to Presidents, the Society has hosted giants from all walks of life. In addition to its famous debates and lauded individual speaker meetings, the Cambridge Union Society also provides a huge variety of other events for its members: in the past year, these have included cheese, chocolate and ice-cream tastings, a Valentine's Masquerade and an opera.

Looking Forward to Lent Term

The Cambridge Union Society has had one of its most successful terms in recent history. We've been visited by top comedians, debated subjects from political correctness to the Berlin Wall, and returned to our rightful place at the centre of University life. The new committee are working hard as we speak to keep the quality up - confirmed speakers already include two former heads of government, more top comedians, and the same range of events and activities that have kept you all interested so far. Check back onto the website in the new year for the announcement of the full term programme!
