The campus is quite spacious and relaxed with lots of areas to fit your needs. The facilities are modern and top quality. The prprofessors are wonderful people. Their teaching methods are great and fun. Precise and easy to understand.

There are high-quality learning resources and lecturers find engaging ways to teach students key concepts that will help us to secure highly regarded graduate jobs. There is a friendly atmosphere and students are frequently encouraged to ask questions in order to make the most of the learning experience. Learning is structured and there are clear objectives which makes revision easier to manage. It could be improved by more engagement between the University management team and the student body, especially during Covid but reasonable adjustments were made to ensure students were not disadvantaged. My course is taught with a blend of online and in-person teaching and this works for me because there is still contact time but it means I can structure my learning in the best way, and this is especially helpful in the third year when I have a dissertation due. The course hours and assignments alongside them keep me busy and this has helped me to make the most of my degree. Contact hours with lecturers face-to-face have allowed me to engage with the content, however, with the online components lecturers have helped to address frequently asked questions in online lectures. The worst aspect is that there is an equal split between in-person teaching and online teaching as I would prefer more in-person teaching, but this does help me to structure my learning more which helps when it comes to assignments. Southampton is a city which is ideal for students to learn to live in a new place surrounded by peers, and there are lots of green spaces to enjoy in warmer weather.
There are lots of shops around the city as well as lots of part-time job opportunities if students are interested and I currently have a part-time job. There are lots of graduate jobs in Southampton and the surrounding areas that relate to a lot of degree pathways, and this has helped me to discover what graduate path may be best suited to me. Public transport is helpful as depending on your course your lectures may be on different campuses across the city, and bus passes are subsidised or free if you live in halls. One thing that isn’t as great is that bus services timetables can be inaccurate but this is not an everyday occurrence. The cost of living is reasonable for a city and is in the mid-range. There are lots of home and international students here so there is great diversity and I have got to know people from all over the world and have made some great friends!
