Faith and spirituality

Our Faith and Spirituality team offers pastoral support to all students and staff, whatever their faith and wherever they are.

From our own religious perspectives we try to contribute to every aspect of university life, acting as a symbol and source of hope, light and growth within the community, no matter where our university community is located.

Contact us

  • Email us at FaithandSpirituality@brighton.ac.uk
  • Join Faith and Spirituality on Facebook
  • Or reach out to a specific Faith Adviser.
  • If you would like to arrange to meet in person, we can be found in Room 17 at the Manor House (Moulsecoomb campus), but please contact us to check times first.

Pastoral care

The days of the pandemic have been very troubling and our Faith Advisers can help and advise on social, academic or spiritual matters, with the aim of supporting you through any anxiety you may be experiencing.

You can contact us as a group or individually. We are here to help.

The Church of England has also developed a helpful bible study to support mental health during these days. You can download a copy here.
