The Chaplaincy Team work alongside colleagues in Student Wellbeing, offering a wide variety of activities which build relationships and nurture community, and supporting individual students of all faiths and beliefs on their journey through university. Our Sanctuary spaces are places where students can find a quiet corner, or spend time with others, and where they can meet with a chaplain for one-to-one conversations.

Alongside our wellbeing activities and support for all students and staff, the chaplains also provide opportunities for students to engage with faith through interfaith dialogue and opportunities for prayer and discussion.
