Faith and Spirituality at Kingston University London

Supporting your faith and spirituality while you are at Kingston University.

Welcome from our Faith and Spirituality Team

Starting a new period in your life can be both exciting and daunting. There are always new things to learn, new relationships to build, new opportunities to be had.

We tend to thrive in a fresh environment when we feel welcomed. The Faith and Spirituality team are here to support students and staff from a wide variety of faith, spiritual and contemplative backgrounds. We work to develop a sense of community on campus in which everyone feels welcome.

Whoever you are, wherever you come from, and whatever your world view, religion, faith, or belief (or non-belief), we believe that you belong here and are part of our University community.

Staff and students at Kingston University represent a broad spectrum of cultures and faiths, making Kingston a rich environment in which to study and work.

The Faith and Spirituality Team is here for everyone in the University. You can access:

Don't forget, our multi-faith team of faith advisers are also available for advice, support and prayer!  

I hope that your time at Kingston is fruitful and enjoyable, that you will indeed feel welcomed and that you will be able to welcome those new experiences that come along and shape you – in mind, body and spirit. May your time at the University be full of grace, hope and peace.

Hamad studied human geography where he focused on how humans interact with their surroundings and how an individual can make a difference in the world and seek solutions to a range of human challenges. Hamad has much experience in student welfare, chaplaincy, faith, spirituality, ethics and diversity in other universities. Hamad also specialises in human resource management, where he is particularly interested in leadership, development and management. 

There is a full-time University faith adviser and a multi-faith team of voluntary faith advisers (VFAs) all of whom are available for advice, support and prayer.
