Our student population reflects a great diversity of faiths, beliefs and cultures, helping make UCA a wonderful place to study, work or visit.
You’ll see and experience that we are about more than tolerance or even respect – we actively appreciate what people of different faiths, beliefs, and cultures bring.
What matters to us is not what an individual is, but who they are and who they aspire to be.
Multi-faith services
Our multi-faith services are accessible to all students at each of our campuses. They:
- Offer you time and space to reflect informally upon the wider aspects of life while you study here
- Can help you find a suitable place of worship
- Are able to give you information about the activities of the main faith groups in your local area
- Are involved with recreational and social activities across the campuses.
Faith groups & worship centres
For information about the faith groups and services at each campus, head to the Students Union and the University library.
Our list of worship centres also provide contact information for the worship, chaplaincy and multi-faith centres near to each of our main campuses.
On behalf of the various faith communities in and around our campuses, please use this information as a resource to discover the right place for you to find a spiritual home whilst here at UCA.
You will find a wide range of options, whether you want to attend a worship centre regularly or just visit from time to time.
The information listed is subject to changes, but most entries have contact numbers, email addresses or websites for up to date and further details.
