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.

  Suzuki Daisetsu Teitaro (1870-1966) is the Japanese lay Buddhist, prolific writer and teacher

  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.
