OPUS (Opportunities at the University of Southampton) is a searchable website to help you explore the breadth of opportunities available to you.
Your time at the University is a fantastic opportunity to try new things, meet new people, and find out more about yourself along the way.
Use the OPUS website to find out about a wide range of career enhancing learning and development opportunities both within and outside of your studies at the University; such as group projects, volunteering, placements, and roles in societies.
Each opportunity has been carefully profiled by your fellow students to give you essential information about what is involved, what you have to gain from engaging with the opportunity and the employability skills you may develop.
Bradley Heslop, an OPUS Student Champion from Aeronautics & Astronautics, said:
“OPUS enables us to enhance ourselves into more employable and self-aware individuals by the time we graduate, giving us an edge over our competitors.”
Amber Dudley, another OPUS Student Champion from Modern Languages, said:
“OPUS fosters the sense of community at the University by encouraging students to take a more active role in their student experience.”
