Emergency contacts

In a life-threatening medical emergency, a fire or a physical threat to life, first call the emergency services by dialling 999*.

* If you are dialling from a university landline you should dial 9 first to give you an outside line rather than the university switchboard.

Then call the university emergency number 01273 642222 to inform site staff.

For callers outside the UK, the emergency number is +44 1273 64 2222.

Please use this number in the event that you experience any other emergency when you are in a university building. For example, if you:

  • need a first aider
  • smell gas
  • become trapped in a lift (please use the emergency bell)
  • are locked in a building (after hours).

This number is staffed 24 hours a day.

If you have any queries relating to the above, please contact the university’s Estates and Facilities Management department directly on 01273 643136.
