  Sharing of faiths

Chaplains/Advisors provide a valuable resource for students and staff. Chaplain/Advisers are drawn from faith communities which are members of the Scottish Interfaith Council and Christian churches which are in membership of Action Together of Churches in Scotland . The University is the first HEI to appoint a Humanist to the Chaplaincy team as an Advisor for people from a non faith background.

The University is a very popular wedding and civil partnership venue. The University Chapel and ceremonial rooms make a lovely setting. At least one of the couple in a wedding or civil partnership ceremony must be a Graduate (or son or daughter of a Graduate), member of staff or current student (or a son or daughter). The Weddings in the University button on the Chaplaincy website will take you to all our advice and information. There is a Weddings Organiser to make the Big Day go as smoothly as possible.

  • A ZEN LIFE - Monday 23 November 6.30 pm -  Film Screening and discussion in the University Memorial 

    Suzuki Daisetsu Teitaro (1870-1966) is the Japanese lay Buddhist, prolific writer and teacher
    credited with introducing Zen Buddhism to the West. The 77-minute film as a whole intertwines
    and moulds together Suzuki’s personal and intellectual life, and projects images of his Zen
    thought through rare cuttings from his lectures and interviews. The film also includes interviews
    with scholars. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director, Michael Goldberg.
    The event is organised in cooperation with Mr Mike Barrett and his team, who have been
    supported by Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation.
