Chaplaincy Service
The Chaplaincy Service strives to help make your university experience enjoyable and fulfilling. The Chaplains place a particular emphasis on acknowledging, celebrating and nurturing the spiritual dimension of your life. They are also involved in a wide variety of community and campus activities.
The Chaplains are easily accessible and they are there to listen and help if you have any troubles or difficulties. The Chapel of St. Columbanus (the University Chapel) is a place of quiet and comfort. The Chaplaincy Office is open from Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 3.45 pm and is located in St. Declan’s N6, Distillery Road.

Childcare Facilities The University Crèche
Spraoi Early Learning Centreoperates the University Crèche, located at 50, Upper Newcastle.
About Spraoi At Spraoi the focus is on learning through play. They implement the Aistear curriculum and incorporate elements of Steiner and Montessori. The centre has been refurbished to meet the needs of children between 6 months and 12 years.
Their software app keeps parents updated in real time about their children’s day, thereby including parents, as the primary educator, in the care of their child.
The balanced and varied menu is prepared in house to meet the nutritional needs of the child and the new garden growing project links in with this.
For smaller children the focus is on sensory play and Spraoi are working to develop the sensory experience both internally and externally in the crèche garden.
