Off Campus

Your university experience on campus is just as important as your experience off campus. To fully enjoy your experience, we have created a list of helpful hints below: 

Offline 

• Be mindful where you keep your valuables.  
• When traveling in large crowds such as shopping centres or public transport, be aware of pickpockets that could be operating in the area. 
• Please make sure you have locked all windows/doors and secured other access points when leaving your house/accommodation.  
• Where possible, avoid carrying large amounts of cash. 
• If you use a bike, make sure it is secured at the relevant locations with a strong padlock. A bike rack is available for use outside our Student Union building. 

• Please do not leave your drink unattended as this may lead it being spiked. If you think your drink has been spiked or if you see a drink being spiked, report this to the nearest authority.  
• If you see any suspicious behaviour whilst out in public, please contact the relevant authorities. 
• Use well-lit busy streets when walking at night. 

Online 

• When using public cashpoints make sure to cover your bank pin.  
• In relation to online crime or cybercrime, make sure all the accounts have two factor authentications.  
• Where possible, do not leave devices unlocked as this could lead to someone else having access to your data. We suggest putting a screen lock function on your devices set to activate after several minutes of inactivity.  
• Be wary of scams online. If it seems to good to be true it probably is. 
• Stay vigilant when using your mobile phone and never leave it unattended.
