About Us

Imperial is an international academic community based in one of the most religiously diverse cities in the world. Students and staff at Imperial represent a wide variety of religious traditions and spiritualties, as well as philosophical and secular perspectives.

This makes Imperial a great place both to explore your own outlook and that of other people. And of course the events that happen in our life - the joys and the sorrows - may strengthen or disturb our views of the world. The Chaplaincy Multi-Faith Centre provides a confidential place to explore faith and to find support for personal issues. We work with students and staff from different faith and philosophical backgrounds.

Our aim

Education is about change and transformation. This is true for ourselves as we learn new skills and ideas. It is also true in the way that research can change what we do and how we think as a society.

Our key aim is to see that religious life can flourish as a support for the educational challenges and changes of university life.
