The authors analyze the problems associated with the prevention of terrorism and extremism in universities. A survey of students, positional experts and teaching staff of universities has been conducted. It is established that the students' views of terrorism and extremism are superficial, making it difficult to prevent these negative phenomena. A significant number of students do not consider terrorism and extremism as a real daily danger to themselves, but recognize this problem as serious and global for society. Prevention of terrorism and extremism in higher education institutions is conducted quite formally, mainly by banning the extremism related websites, in rare cases, preventive conversations of law enforcement officials, installation of video cameras in the educational buildings and the presence of a receptionist (watchman) on duty. In addition, it was revealed that the universities are poorly protected from the terrorist threat. It is established that young men are perceived a terrorist threat more seriously than girls are, which is associated with their greater awareness of the political situation in Russia and the world. As part of the survey, an analysis of the existing system of the prevention of terrorism and extremism was made in three directions: the scientific-methodical, organizational and social-educational, based on which recommendations on the system improvement were proposed.
