Digital Safety
Find out more about financial scams, cyber security, and cyber bullying.
Cyber Bullying
Cyberbullying refers to the use of technology—social media, messaging apps, gaming platforms, and more—to bully or harass someone. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can be constant, occurring 24/7, and the anonymity of the internet can embolden bullies to act more aggressively.
Cyber Security
As a student, much of your life happens online—whether it’s submitting coursework, connecting with friends, or managing your finances. However, the digital world comes with risks, from phishing scams targeting your university email to hackers trying to access your bank details.
Financial Scams
Over a third of students studying in the UK have bee targeted by frauds and scams. The average amount of money lost by a victim of fraud was £80, however the financial losses can range from a few pounds to over £40,000.
