Southampton Solent University is all about creating opportunities: for its students, for its staff, for its partners. It offers expertise and experiences you couldn’t get anywhere else, opening doors and making introductions. We’re focused on the practical side of higher education – giving our students the connections, experience, and confidence to turn their newfound knowledge into a career with real, meaningful impact. Whoever you are, whatever your goals, we want to help you make your mark.
If there’s one thing our 160-year history has taught us, it’s that employers are expecting more than ever from modern graduates. Our job is to ensure you leave your course ready to exceed those expectations – equipping you with the hands-on skills and workplace confidence you’ll need to succeed
Employability sits at the heart of everything we do. Our curriculums, created in collaboration with industry employers, guarantee that the skills and knowledge you gain have genuine market value. Our teaching teams extend this value, injecting their first-hand experience into every aspect of your degree. Everyone learns differently. If at any point during your studies you feel you may benefit from extra support, you’ll be able to access it
This isn’t limited to academic support either. Whether you want help setting up your own business, are worried about your finances or simply want help with looking for part-time work, our support services will be there for you. International students make up around 15 per cent of the student community here at Solent. We welcome international students from all over the world – giving our city-centre campus and our classrooms a diverse, multicultural feel.
