Students chatting

The Chaplain aims to:

provide a listening ear for students and staff.
work with others in Student Services, offering confidential support.
visit staff or students in hospital if requested.
assist those enquiring about specific religious services (e.g. baptism, marriage or funeral).
provide links with local churches of various denominations.
offer helpful information to people of different faiths about local contacts in Aberdeen.

In addition the chaplain participates in the wider life of the University, officiating at events such as graduation ceremonies and the annual carol service.
