The University provides a number of dedicated spaces for prayer and reflection on campus.

## Multi-faith prayer rooms

Multi-faith facilities are available at the University and are designated for spiritual/religious activities such as individual or group worship, quiet contemplation, reflection, meditation or prayer.

All students and staff have a duty to respect other users and to ensure the environment remains welcoming to people of all faiths and beliefs, and for those who do not adhere to a religious faith.
