Secured Environments
We're proud of the fact that we are one of a select group of universities in the UK to be awarded the Secured Environments accreditation.
Awarded in July 2022, the accreditation is recognition of excellence in security and crime prevention. As part of the process, our team was thoroughly audited to ensure we were meeting the six key principles of Secured Environments:
