As the University of Southampton is such a huge university, there are tons of clubs and societies to get involved in, whether its for a sport, hobby, cultural group or faith! Getting immersed in these from the start is a sure fire way to meet different types of people and make new friends.

Visit us

We’d love to meet you and show you around. Join us on campus at a Visit Day or at a virtual visit event – or both! 

You can also access virtual events on demand.

On-campus Visit Days

Join us at an on-campus Visit Day to deep dive into your course, the modules, meet your lecturers and see where you’ll study.
You’ll have the chance to chat to students to find out about student life, and find out what it’s like to live and study here. You’ll also have the opportunity to tour our campuses, brand new sports facilities, the library, a range of accommodation options, and learn about student support.

Support for travel costs


We understand that travel costs can be a barrier to attending Visit Days, so we’re offering travel bursaries of up to £100 to help cover the cost for UK students.

 

Virtual visit events

Our virtual visit events run until April. We tailor these events to each subject, but you can expect to: 

  • meet your lecturers
  • explore your course and modules in depth
  • experience a taster lecture or demo
  • take a virtual tour
  • hear from current students to find out what it’s really like to study here

Sessions run for 60-90 minutes, and you can catch up on demand.

Book a virtual visit event

 

If you can't make it to the event for your chosen subject, you can access virtual events on demand. This means that you can enjoy virtual visits at your own pace, in the comfort of your home.
