The university provides different kinds of support for students and staff. Our Chaplains and Pastoral Assistants are available in the Chaplaincy Office, Social Learning Zone or Athena Café to offer pastoral support to students and staff of any faith and none – we are very good at listening.

Why we can help
A Chaplain or Pastoral Assistant can help because:
- they are independent to talk to;
- you can talk to them in confidence;
- they take your beliefs seriously, whether traditional faith, atheist or just confused;
- you can talk to them about the purpose of life;
- they will help you along your spiritual journey;
- you can talk to them about your difficulties and innermost fears;
- they will help you find answers to those religious questions you always wanted to ask but...
- they will not tell you what to believe.
