Discover a new world of learning

University is a world of excitement, challenge, opportunity and new experiences - and that includes the teaching and learning.

Lectures and seminars are at the heart of most degree courses, and at Southampton you'll be taught by world-renowned experts. But you'll also have independence - time in which to read and research your topics, and to develop the skills that will set you on the path to success.

Our research, from building sustainable cities to bringing the past to life with virtual reality, is changing the world for the better. Much of it feeds back into our course content, so you'll benefit directly from that too.

And our flexible learning options give you the freedom to pursue your interests and grow your knowledge in more than one subject area.

Wherever you are, you're always learning

In and out of the lecture theatre, online and offline... View our slideshow of some of the University's many teaching and learning spaces.

A major new teaching and learning facility has opened on our Highfield Campus in time for the 2019/20 academic year.

The modern seven-floor building, named the Centenary Building to mark 100 years of our Highfield site, features lecture theatres, seminar rooms and a street-level café.

Our teaching staff are passionate about their subjects and leaders in their field. We have gained official recognition for our commitment to quality teaching, and several of our lecturers have been made National Teaching Fellows thanks to their outstanding impact.

Access support whenever you need it

There's plenty of help available to support your learning needs, as well as world-class facilities  and digitally equipped study spaces designed to help you get the most from your time here.
