VIRSEC Safety on Campus – A Guide for Students

Course information

Target group:

This course is aimed at new students who are in their first year of university and need some guidance to prepare them to keep safe in a new and unfamiliar environment. It can also offer parents some comfort that their sons and daughters have made preparations. This course is equally suitable for students at any stage in their studies, or indeed anyone who finds themselves making a new start in a new place, because the practical information contained in this course is applicable to anyone wishing to be aware and stay safe.

Description:

Starting a new life as a student in a new and different city or country is very exciting, and while most students will have a perfectly safe and crime-free experience, it is a fact that one third of students will be a victim of crime of one sort or another during their time at college or university. The most common crimes are theft and robbery, followed by incidents involving violent physical or sexual assault. Statistics show that an estimated 20 per cent of student robberies/muggings occur in the first six weeks of the academic year, when students are distracted with settling in.  

By far the best defence is to always use common sense and awareness when in any situation, therefore this course aims to instill in the candidate an awareness that will keep them, their property, and the people around them, safe. The knowledge and preparation gained from this course can help a student to navigate their way confidently into their new life and dramatically reduce the probability of becoming a victim of crime.
