Faith and spirituality

Faith and spirituality are important for many of our students. It's precisely for this reason why we provide you with the space and opportunity to explore and express your faith and spirituality. We do this by providing the necessary facilities in a safe and respectful environment.

The Chaplaincy

Our Chaplaincy team is here to support students and staff with their wellbeing, faith and spirituality. Chaplains offer a listening service and can help you to pause, find comfort, be creative, or explore faith and spirituality. Whether you consider yourself to be a person of faith or not, everyone is welcome. Chaplains are available to speak to in person, online or phone. The Chaplaincy facility contains a Christian chapel, Islamic prayer room with ablutions, a quiet room and other multi use spaces for meetings, events or quiet study and reflection.

Faith, culture and nation based groups and societies

There are a number of faith based groups within the university, and within the student body in particular. These are run through different platforms: some through the Chaplaincy, some through the Loughborough Students Union, and some informally.

There are also a number of Student Run Religious Groups, many through the Students Union. These include Loughborough Christian Union, LSU Islamic SocietyLSU Jewish Society and the LSU Sikh Society. All of these societies meet regularly and offer students the opportunity to practice their religion together, as well as providing support and organising social activities.    

Exploring your faith and spirituality in London

If you're planning on studying at our London campus, you'll be pleased to learn that we have a special nondenominational quiet room​ which can be used for those who require a space to express their faith and spirituality on campus. Located on the second floor of campus, the Student Support team can advise you on places of worship off-campus. We also work with faith groups situated close to campus to ensure our students feel part of the community networks of people who share their faith.
