NUDC is a prestigious inter-university debate competition in Indonesia. Established in 2008, this annual event serves as a platform for universities to showcase their debating prowess. Each year, NUDC selects and trains Indonesian delegations for participation in the esteemed World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC). Organized by the Indonesian Talent Development Center (BPTI), NUDC requires participants to demonstrate a deep understanding of diverse topics, excellent English language proficiency, and compelling argumentative skills.
