The World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC) is the largest debate tournament in the world and is the largest annual international event for college students. The first competition was hosted by the University of Glasgow in January 1981, with 43 teams from 7 countries. Currently, it has truly grown into an international English debate competition, with about 400 teams

(2 people per team) participating in more than 380 universities from 80 countries.

​

At WUDC, students from top universities around the world regularly gather to compete against each other. Numerous students from leading universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stanford, Monash, and Sydney participate in the tournament. As the prominent domestic and foreign participants fiercely compete, winning the WUDC is the highest authority achievement that debaters can gain. WUDC offers a groundbreaking opportunity for Korean college students to develop critical thinking and logical communication skills by discussing internationally important issues.
