Safety

Crime on the Aston University campus is very low and our security measures, 24 hour CCTV and close-knit community atmosphere help to keep it that way.

Our team of fully trained security staff are always on hand to help ensure the safety and security of the Aston community. Our campus is a safe and friendly place covered by extensive CCTV and security patrols.

We also enjoy excellent relations with the local West Midlands Police, with officers covering the campus beat.

Crime statistics

There have only been four reported crimes on campus in 2012, all of which were related. These were thefts from lockers on campus and the perpetrator was quickly caught.

Of the UK's eight major cities, Birmingham has the lowest crime rate – with almost half that of Manchester’s.
