In the era of information, it has become vital for companies to make sure that their information is properly protected. They are therefore, willing to spend large amounts of resources on protecting their information. This can usually be done in a large variety of ways. The root of information security is first and foremost, having policies that regulate how information security is upheld. And secondly, by teaching employees proper practice of information security. These are however procedures that are not all that common in a university environment, and even more so in relation to students. In order to explore this phenomenon further, an exploratory study have been carried out to find more information on the subject. This has been done in several ways in order to grasp as much information as possible. Firstly, by doing a literary study to find out what is already known within the field of information security in regard to students. Secondly, by doing a quantitative study that evaluates the student’s information security awareness. And lastly, by conducting an interview with a member of staff at a university to find out their attitude towards the phenomenon. The thesis concludes by suggesting how universities might want to handle information security in relationship to students.
