Partnerships promoting safety in Birmingham:

Initiatives like the Safer Birmingham Partnership are bringing together key organisations and the people of Birmingham to make the city even safer. West Midlands Police have recently launched Safer Students, full of handy advice and tips on staying safe.

We’re proud that our campus is particularly safe. Crime on the Aston campus is rare, and we have the lowest crime rate of any Midlands university.

Aston has a team of fully trained security staff and campus is covered by extensive CCTV and security patrols. We enjoy excellent relations with the local West Midlands Police, with two officers covering the campus ‘beat’.
