The Chaplaincies provide a focus for weekday or Sunday worship, a range of social events and activities, groups for prayer or study, in addition to pastoral care and counselling. Several of the Chaplaincy Centres also provide student accommodation. Students take a leading role in planning and preparing Chaplaincy activities. The Chaplains and other religious representatives give a high priority to meeting students in halls and other accommodation. They also provide counselling in a wide range of areas that relate to student life.
Students are welcome to make contact with their religious representatives at any time.
The University welcomes applications from students with special needs, including those with sensory, learning and physical impairments. It recognises its responsibilities to encourage, where possible, an increase in the proportion of students with disabilities who apply and who are admitted to the University to a level more reflective of the proportion of people with disabilities in the community at large. Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate such students, subject to the requirements of health and safety legislation. The University is committed to ensuring equality in terms of physical access to information, and safety, insofar as it is practically possible. Many of our buildings have been designed to take into account the needs of people with disabilities and new facilities are being added to existing structures.
