Student faith societies

Access different opportunities to explore our multi-faith, multi-denominational support for students.

For All Students

Faith at City St George's

There are plenty of opportunities to explore faith through our student societies, where students of faith meet and work together to live and practice their faith alongside their studies, and to socialise.

To find out more about a particular faith society listed below, please contact the City St George's Students’ Union, or visit the Students’ Union Societies index.

Here are some examples of the faith societies (the list may not be exhaustive):

Faith and Study

At City St George’s, we do our best to ensure the academic timetable is sensitive to the needs of students, including in matters of faith. However, with so many major religions represented in our community, that isn’t always possible. When that happens, alternative arrangements can often be made.

Teaching dates and major examination periods are timed to accommodate the requirements of each individual degree programme and you may find that you have an exam or placement scheduled during a particular religious festival or period of religious observance.

If this is the case you should speak to a member of your department, normally your course coordinator, as soon as possible. Your tutor should listen to your situation and discuss potential solutions with you, although it will not always be possible to find a solution.

City St George’s encourages students to let us know as far in advance as possible if there will be a clash between a religious festival and an academic activity.
