The University of West London

Support for students

Chaplaincy team

The Chaplaincy at University of West London:

• is available to all students and staff at University of West London, with any religious background or none

• offers an open, informal, ecumenical outlook


• provides information about local places of worship, faith communities and religious events


• gives personal and spiritual support, with referral to other agencies where necessary


• helps students and staff find time and space for spiritual exploration and reflection


• can put you in touch with others at University of West London who meet for regular times of prayers and worship


• can organise occasional discussion groups on a range of contemporary issues


• seeks to make the University aware of the spiritual needs of students and staff


• promotes religious tolerance and understanding within the University


• works co-operatively and confidentially within the student services team.

As the chaplaincy at University of West London develops, we hope that other faith communities will be represented. Meanwhile, if you are seeking chaplaincy support from another church or faith community, or want information about other local places of worship, please feel free contact us and we'll try to help.
