Pastoral and spiritual support

Who we are and what we do


We are a team of volunteer chaplains and faith advisers who are university staff offering pastoral and spiritual support to staff and students at the university. The team is led by our pastoral and spiritual support coordinator. We welcome all members of the university community. 
Our Pastoral and Spiritual Support Services are now running in person and we are open for people to drop in Monday to Friday 10:00–16:00 or alternatively we are contactable for appointments at spiritualsupport@plymouth.ac.uk

Student faith and belief societies

University of Plymouth students have access to over 100 societies. They help connect you with others who share your passion.

All societies at the Students' Union are student led. Joining any one of them is a great way to make the most of your university experience, meet new people, learn new things, explore your passions and have fun.

There are a number of faith and belief societies which may be of interest to you.
