Religion and Belief
The University is committed to fair and equal treatment of all students and staff irrespective of their religion or belief. This includes the right to hold no belief.
As a result the University has reviewed the procedures which allow staff and students of all faiths and beliefs (including those of none) to use University facilities for a period of prayer or quiet reflection. The following facilities are available on UWS campuses:
