Religious support

Most major faiths are represented by a student society at UCL, the full list and contact details are available on the UCL Union website.

At UCL, religious support is offered by the Chaplains, who are here to provide you with support, space to talk and reflect on questions of faith and belief. They are committed to working with students from diverse cultures and faiths (including those with no faith backgrounds). You can contact the chaplains as follows:
