Sharing of Faiths Logo

The University of Glasgow is well served with places for worship, prayer and reflection. Space is provided at the University Chapel, the University Interfaith Room, the University Library, the Veterinary School quiet room, Turnbull Hall Roman Catholic Chaplaincy. At the Dental School, prayer and reflection can take place in available seminar rooms. Meetings and events also take place in these places.
The Chaplaincies are friendly, welcoming places open to students and staff of all faith/non-faith backgrounds or denominations. The University is strongly committed to interfaith working and became the first ‘Friend’ of the Scottish Inter Faith Council (SIFC). Religion and Belief communities and student societies – with the support of the Chaplains – arrange programmes of interesting and stimulating events for students and staff.

  • Chaplains, Advisors and Contacts provide a valuable resource for students and staff.

    Chaplains and 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.

  • Weddings in the University 

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). Full information and advice is available in the Weddings in Chapel section and from our Weddings Organisers who will make your Big Day go as smoothly as possible.
