Your personal safety

If you live in Birmingham already or are staying for the Christmas break, remember to look after your personal safety when enjoying yourself over the festive period.

Birmingham is a great place to live and study, but as with any large city, there are a few things you need to think about to keep yourself safe.

  • Safety advice - West Midlands Police have some useful advice on personal safety for students in the West Midlands.
  • Safe travel advice - The University’s Security Services has produced some guidance about travelling safely around Birmingham.
  • Hollie Guard app - a simple shake or tap activates Hollie Guard, automatically sending your location and audio/video evidence to your designated contacts.
