AKU Debate Club
AKU Debate Club is a student-run club founded by medical students at Aga Khan University to provide an engaging and intellectually stimulating platform for students. The club falls under one of the two wings of Aga Khan public speaking (AKUPS). The club offers a break from the rigorous demands of medical school while encouraging critical thinking, argumentation, and discussion on controversial and thought-provoking topics. Through structured debates, interactive sessions, and engaging activities, the club cultivates open-mindedness, confidence, and public speaking skills among its students.
