Local to global
Our East Park Terrace campus is based in the heart of the city with satellite sites located across the wider city region. We are proud to call Southampton our home, with our impact rippling across the region to benefit Hampshire and the wider Central South.
Being located in the Solent region, the powerhouse of the UK’s maritime sector, our impact goes far beyond our regional shores. Our global connectivity as a university and place enables us to collaboratively champion and celebrate the region’s diverse communities.
We are a civic university and were among the first in the UK to officially launch a civic agreement – Solent’s Civic Charter. The Charter outlines our commitment to our communities here in Southampton and across the region. You can discover more about our charter, impact to date, and ways to get involved below.

Our courses
Our students work together across courses and disciplines – just like in the real world. Programmers work with artists to create and publish their own indie games. Fashion designers work with photographers. And film-makers work with performance students, make-up, prosthetics and SFX.
Our courses also enable you to get hands-on with the latest equipment. From our virtual production stage – advanced tech used to film The Mandalorian and major blockbusters – to a fully-equipped Bloomberg business suite, a BASES-accredited biomechanics lab and professional-grade photography, television and recording studios, our investment in cutting-edge facilities giving you hands-on skills with the latest industry-grade technology. It’s all about creating a real-world experience for our students, so you’re more than ready for the industry when you graduate – you’re already a professional.
