Faith in the University
Kingston University is a secular institution which has no commitment to any particular faith or belief. Many beliefs and faiths, however, are present in the University which is a very diverse community.
The University is developing a policy on "Religion of Belief", but many areas of importance for people of religious faith within the University are already covered by the "Dignity at Work and During Study Policy".
