Crime Prevention
Crime is a fact of life and instances of petty theft and burglary do occur from time to time. Mobile phones, laptop computers, credit cards, bicycles etc are all attractive targets for theft, particularly when left on open view in cars, in unlocked cars or in flats where doors and windows have not been properly secured. For specific crime prevention advice students should visit the security department or visit the Metropolitan Police Crime Prevention Bus that is on campus termly.
CCTV
For the purposes of crime prevention and public safety, an extensive CCTV system operates throughout the campus. This is all monitored and controlled from the Security Control Room. Any questions about CCTV should be directed to a member of the security staff.
Swipe Card and Key Access
All of our on-campus accommodation is secured by either having swipe card or key access.
Students will be issued with swipe cards and keys to allow them access to the various areas that they need whilst at the University. Students should look after their cards and keys and never lend them to anyone else or use them to let other people into areas for which they have not been allowed access.
