We know that recent events in the UK and internationally may feel unsettling, and you could be feeling worried or anxious. Please be reassured that your safety and wellbeing remain at the heart of everything we do. 

On 30 April 2026, the UK Government announced that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) had raised the UK National Threat Level from SUBSTANTIAL (meaning an attack is likely) to SEVERE (meaning an attack is highly likely in the next six months). More information on this decision is available online. 

Our University Security Team works continually to create and maintain a safe environment where our community can study, work and live with confidence. We encourage everyone to be aware of their surroundings and to report anything that feels unusual or concerning. If you witness an incident or suspicious activity, please report it via the Safezone App or you can speak to the team by phoning the Gatehouse 24/7 on 0141 330 4444.

The safety and wellbeing of our students and colleagues across all our campuses is our highest priority, and we continue to keep the situation under close review.

Support is available, and we encourage anyone who feels concerned to reach out.

  • You can find the Support Finder plus lots of further information on support for your health and wellbeing through the Student Wellbeing Hompage.
  • TalkCampus is a free, global wellbeing community for students, offering safe and anonymous peer support whenever you need it.
  • Pastoral and spiritual support is also available for those who need it through the University Chaplaincy.
