The University's Founders' Day Service takes place on Sunday 13 February at 11.00am, in King's College Chapel.

The service will be conducted by the University Chaplain Rev David Hutchison, and the sermon will be given by The Rt Hon Lord Wallace of Tankerness QC (Jim Wallace), the current Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Those joining the academic procession are requested to assemble in the Linklater Rooms by 10.20am at the latest.

The service will be streamed live online for anyone not involved who wishes to watch, you will find the link to join by searching for the event on our ‘What’s On’ pages nearer the time.
