It’s big enough to have something for everyone, yet small enough to put everything within easy reach. And Solent University is right in the middle of it. 4 Our city-centre campus gives students access to all the benefits of the south coast’s biggest city – whether that’s shopping, culture, diversity, sport or career opportunities. And we do everything we can to improve those opportunities. Strong ties throughout the city – in art, in sport, in government, in business – mean our students have all the chances they could ever need to get professional experience in their industry. Plus there’s a variety of ways to make a difference in the local community – from volunteering at Southampton Pride to raising funds through the ABP Southampton Marathon. We also play an active role in key city celebrations RE:SO and festivals, working with community partners every year to host cultural exhibitions, public speakers and sporting events. Take Solent Gallery, for example. This dedicated gallery brings modern and innovative art to the centre of Southampton – free for anyone to appreciate. But it also brings opportunity, providing residencies and exhibition space each year for the most promising students.
