People of faith and belief

Faith provision

At the University, we benefit from our close partnership with the Multi Faith Centre (MFC) based at our Derby campus. The MFC is home to the University’s Chaplaincy, who provide pastoral and spiritual support and guidance to all students and employees at each campus site and offers a quiet space for prayer and reflection.

Prayer and study circles

The Chaplaincy hold a number of events including prayer and study circles, for example, for Christian prayer, Friday and daily prayers in Islamic traditions, Bible study, Weekly Quran Circles and Arabic Classes. You can also find out more about the wider MFC events and training that take place.

Faith and Belief Network

We also have a Faith and Belief Network, who strive to promote interfaith/interbelief dialogue to ensure that all faiths and beliefs are respected and embraced within our university community.

Student Societies

There are several faith-based student societies that you may wish to take a look at.

Interfaith Week

Each year, we mark Inter Faith Week, which takes place every November, and is a great opportunity to highlight different faiths where we work and study. Interfaith week aims to strengthen interfaith relations, increase understanding and awareness of different faiths and religions, and to strengthen understanding between those who have faith and those who do not.

Fair Trade Lunch and Philosophy

Each week the MFC holds a fair-trade lunch and invites discussion on the broader topics on issues that impact life, welfare and human existence.
