Safety in Russia

Like all other countries in the world, Russia is also not a country with zero crime rate. The well-equipped Police of Russia work at its best to maintain law and order in the nation and ensure safety for the citizens as well the visitors.

Student Safety

Besides safety standards at the state level, all the universities and educational institutions in Russia have proper safety measures in place to provide a safe and secure environment for the students.

Students within the Universities’ property are protected by trained security personnel. Further, 24/7 CCTV surveillance makes sure that everything is under control and in order.

Never left the University premises without letting know the concerned authority at the University and obtaining prior permission. 

2

Make yourself familiar with the Campus area, University authorities, and security personnel.

In crowded places, beware of theft and pickpocketing.

Never carry huge cash-in-hand. Keep it to only a little higher than you need on a daily basis.

While doing anything online, never provide your personal or private information to a stranger.

While going out, make sure to lock your room.
