Living in the City

You may be interested in studying at Southampton Solent University for its academic qualities, but that's not the only reason why you have chosen to go on to higher education. By being in a new place, you meet new people and do new things, so you won't only be learning about your chosen academic subject, you'll also be learning about yourself… and there's no better place to learn than Southampton.

Southampton is on the South Coast of England, just over an hour by train to London and within easy distance of Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Winchester. Its location makes it easy to travel to Europe either by ferry or from the city's airport at Eastleigh.

Southampton Solent University is located in the heart of the city, which has grown dramatically into a busy, cosmopolitan centre of culture, entertainment, nightlife and shopping. View our 5 min Southampton - City and Area tour video to see what the City can offer.
