There are four Chaplaincy Centres, all located adjacent to one another in Elmwood Avenue, opposite the Students' Union and close to the main University buildings. Each has a full-time Chaplain and other staff.

These Centres are:

• The Presbyterian Community Centre, 12 Elmwood Avenue and Derryvolgie Hall, 49a Derryvolgie Avenue
• The Church of Ireland Centre, 22 Elmwood Avenue
• The Methodist Chaplaincy, 26 Elmwood Avenue
• The Catholic Chaplaincy, 28 Elmwood Avenue 

Belfast also has a Hindu Temple, located in the city's Indian Community Centre, and a mosque, in the Islamic Centre in Wellington Park, a few minutes' walk from the University.

The chaplaincy centres provide a focus for weekday or Sabbath worship, a range of social events and activities, groups for prayer or study, in addition to pastoral care and counselling. Several of the centres also provide student accommodation. Students take a leading role in planning and preparing chaplaincy activities.

The chaplains and other religious representatives give a high priority to meeting students in halls and other accommodation.

They also provide counselling in a wide range of areas that relate to student life. Students are welcome to make contact with their religious representatives at any time.
