About - University Jewish Chaplaincy

About Us

Established over 40 years ago, Chaplaincy (formerly UJC) is an independent charity that exists solely to provide all Jewish students across the UK with Chaplains.

These carefully selected husband and wife teams are available 24/7 to offer practical, welfare, spiritual, educational support, guidance and encouragement to all Jewish students irrespective of background and affiliation.

Whatever your need – our Chaplains are there for you. Whether it be a friendly face when you first arrive on campus, a traditional home-cooked Friday night dinner, someone to talk to, social events, educational opportunities or representation to the Universities.

To find out how you may benefit, contact your local University Chaplain.
