Chaplaincy Services
UNILAK Chaplaincy helps students find a better way to deal with issues ranging from family breakdown and loneliness to drug abuse, stress, and anxiety. The chaplain provides a listening ear and a caring presence for students in crisis and those who just need a friend. She/he therefore should have a passion to improve the lives of young people.

- Promoting students wellbeing, particularly through the provision of pastoral care
- Encouraging reflection about the spiritual dimensions of life
- Providing guidance to students on issues concerning human relationships
