Solent University Southampton

Southampton Solent University offers a variety of taught and research postgraduate courses, spanning acoustics, communications, computing, design, maritime, business, law, sport, health, wellbeing, and more.

Whether students are continuing their studies or returning to study after a break, Solent offers full support on managing workloads and expectations. Postgraduate students get extensive contact time with a tutor or supervisor chosen to match their interests, and we pride ourselves on carrying out pioneering research that also helps address essential real world problems like environmental sustainability. 

Industry links are a vital part of our courses, with work placements and internships offered on many. Industry partners also play an important role in creating Solent’s curriculum, keeping courses fresh, relevant and up-to-date.

Academics and postgraduates work on a wide variety of highly focused topics – giving students the chance to acquire vital research skills and become experts in their chosen area of study. Opportunities for broader collaboration are plentiful thanks to the diverse international research communities Solent works in.

94% of students are satisfied with their research supervision (Postgraduate Research Experience Survey 2015), and 95% were in employment or further study six months after finishing their course (2016 DLHE survey).
