The Chaplaincy serves all members of the University, staff and students, regardless of their faith background. They aim to be hospitable and inclusive at all times and offer to listen carefully and unconditionally whatever the issue might be. They can be found in the Student Services Centre, The Forum and in The Chaplaincy Rooms, The Old Library (which includes areas for quiet, relaxation and a kitchen).
They aim to provide opportunities for worship and for faith to be nurtured and deepened and to engage with those who have questions about spirituality and the meaning of life.
The Chaplains are always ready to discuss issues of faith or daily living or any personal matter in confidence at all times.
