Debating – Extend Option

Please note: This course is one of our Extend Options designed to be combined with other A Level programmes or BTEC Extended Certificate courses to make up a full timetable. If you are planning to study an A Level programme at Exeter College you will need to enrol on a four element programme, and cannot apply for this course on it’s own.

On this course you will be introduced to the art of debating and the theory behind it. You will develop tools for debating, such as awareness of logical fallacies that you can utilise in debating and beyond. You will have the opportunity to debate and practice your public speaking. We use the debating matters format and often use their topic guides (e.g. ‘Statues to controversial figures should remain’ or ‘Climate emergency: people should have no more than two children’). The course will culminate in a debate organised by students in the Lecture Theatre with an expert panel of judges.
