Enrolling at university is an experience that goes beyond the lecture theatre. It will make your time at the University of Southampton as rewarding as possible in all respects. It can assure you of world class teaching and research but the facilities and opportunities the University offers go a lot further than the classroom.

The University of Southampton is in the top ten of UK research led institutions and has world-leading centres of research in the areas of archaeology of human origins, electronics, oceanography, optoelectronics, sound and vibration research and textile conservation. The academic staff are at the cutting edge of their fields and take the spirit of innovation and excellence into the classroom.

Guaranteed accommodation for duration of studies
It can offer guaranteed accommodation in University halls of residence to all international students for the duration of their studies.

The Accommodation Service can also offer some University accommodation for students with partners / families and assist in finding private accommodation.

One hour from London
Southampton is a modern and vibrant city on the south coast of England, just one hour away from London. The city is large enough to offer a diverse nightlife and range of cultural activities but small enough to retain a friendly and safe atmosphere. Southampton's history is entwined with British maritime heritage, it is now a major centre for ocean sailing and has a string of marinas along the waterfront.
