One-off opportunities

These opportunities are great if you are short on time, but still wish to make a difference to the lives of our students at Southampton.

Careers talk

Share your careers journey with our students through lectures, webinars, panels or workshops. You will be inspiring students and opening them up to the opportunities available to them once they graduate.

Provide a profile

We are always looking for alumni to provide profiles about what they have achieved since graduation. If you have an interesting story that you would like to share, or if you would like to describe your pathway to success—then our students would love to hear about your story.

Student recruitment

Come back to campus and speak to prospective students during University open days. You’ll be a great example of what our students can achieve.

There are lots of other volunteering opportunities throughout the yet. To stay updated, register your interest.
