Religious and Spiritual Life

People at the University of the Arts London have come from all over the world, from all sorts of backgrounds, with different perspectives on life and how the world works. We all place differing degrees of importance on our religious or spiritual convictions. For some people their faith is deeply important, for others it is less so, for others still, it is irrelevant or does not exist.

Students and staff come from many different religious backgrounds and from none at all. Studying at the University of the Arts London and living in a multicultural world city like London presents many opportunities to learn and grow - and sometimes get confused!

The Chaplaincy Service is here to support you, and to help you work things out: how your studies and career fit into the wider scheme of life, how you decide what's important to you in life and what you can do to explore the religious and spiritual dimensions of life.

The Sky picture designs on the Chaplaincy pages (and also for a series of 3 connecting postcards) were created by Kumi Kato, a student at LCC. Her design concept was inspired by these words she wrote down:

'The sky is eternal, always beautiful. Everyday there must be morning, noon and night. The sky connects each person. And if the sky exists with us, people live together. Under the sky, everybody is alike.'
