What about religious needs?
The University of Chichester is an international place of
education and you will find a great variety of faiths, beliefs
and also non-beliefs all around you. We try in many ways
to meet your particular needs in all areas of life, including
religious faith and special dietary requirements due to
religious beliefs. The University has a chapel for worship
and also rooms for individual prayer and meditation,
which are open to people of all faiths.
Please visit the Chaplaincy website to find out more
about prayer and worship on campus and in the local
