Join our community of staff, students and researchers at the University of Southampton. As a global top 100 university, our expert academics and wide range of study options will help you achieve your goals.

The 21st century has seen us develop into a world-leading university.

We are famous for being both research driven, and down-to-earth with the needs of business and society. We now have well over 20,000 full time students, and we are proud to see that they are continuing our traditions of innovation through dedication and hard work.

Our innovations:

• We were a pioneer in forging special relationships with other universities to ensure high academic standards.
• We were one of the first universities in the world to have a department of electronics (founded 1947).
• We were a pioneer in supporting start-up businesses grown from the university (we have created more spin-out companies than almost any other UK university, including the largest ever successful university spin-out: Southampton Photonics).
• We were one of the first universities to embrace digital resources, and create online-only courses accessible from around the world.
• We are a pioneer of using university research to successfully inform UK government policy.
• We are a pioneer in supporting a global academic environment with the creation of our Malaysian campus.

It teaches pre-university programmes leading to a wide range of undergraduate and Master's degrees at leading universities across the UK, USA and mainland Europe.

Our programmes are designed for international students who do not meet the requirements for direct entry to university study, and benefit from the support we offer in preparing them to progress to their chosen university.
