Faith and spirituality

We have two Faith and Spirituality Centres at Kingston University. One on the ground floor of the main building at Penrhyn Road and one in Kenry House at Kingston Hill. 

Both are open to all students and staff of all and no faiths – you just need your student card to get in. They include spaces for:

• Prayer
• Workshop
• Meditation
• Reflection
• Meetings 
• Religious washing

We have multi-faith Quiet Rooms at the following locations:

• Roehampton Vale campus, on the first floor of the Hawker Wing (HW-104)
• Knights Park campus, on the ground floor of the Link Building

Dates provided on the Islamic Calendar have been scientifically calculated. However, these have to be confirmed by sighting the moon and there can be a discrepancy of up to two days for each festival.

The Faith and Spirituality Team is here for everyone in the University – whatever your beliefs.

There is no automatic time off granted for religious obligations, but we will make reasonable adjustments wherever we can.

If you’re worried about a clash, get in touch with your course leader as soon as possible to discuss your options. 

If your scheduled examination timetable conflicts with your religious requirements, you should follow mitigating circumstances procedures and submit a deferral request.

Need further advice? Get in touch with Hamad, our Faith & Spirituality Senior Advisor at [email protected]. 

Our canteen serves a mix of halal and non-halal food. Everything is clearly labelled.

If you have a concern you would like us to pray about, you can make a request at one of the regular term time services. You can also leave requests on the boards in our Quiet Rooms, or send them by email to [email protected].
