大学概况University Profile

Southampton has introduced a more flexible curriculum at undergraduate level, with some subjects offering a ‘major/minor’ structure that allows students to spend 25% of their time on a subject other than their original degree choice. Options include a wide range of languages including Arabic, Chinese, Latin and Russian.

There are also new inter-disciplinary modules, such as communication in a global world, or sustainability in local and global environments, that are designed to give students a broader perspective. New degrees for 2014 include web science and wildlife conservation.

Every undergraduate hasan academic adviser to guide their independent learning and progress. Over 86% of the students here attended state schools – more than the national average for the courses and entry qualifications and one of the highest proportions among the Russell Group of research-intensive universities of which Southampton is a member. Students act as ambassadors, associates and mentors in local schools and colleges, as part of the university’s efforts to broaden its intake further.

Indeed, Southampton attracted more than 1,000 additional students in 2013, bearing out the prediction of the vice-chancellor, Professor Don Nutbeam, that a substantial shortfall in the previous year would be a one-off.

Enrolments were back to the record level seen before higher fees were introduced, aided by substantial investment in new facilities and good levels of student satisfaction.

The university has been a fixture in the top 20 in our league table for several years, benefiting from high staffing levels and a good performance in the last Research Assessment Exercise. Southampton is in the top 100 in the QS World University Rankings and the proportion of income derived from research is among the highest in Britain.

It has particular strengths in computer science, where Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Worldwide Web, is a professor and Nick Jennings was awarded the only Regius Professorship in the subject as part of the Queen’s Jubilee. Southampton was a natural choice as one of the Government’s eight Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research.

The university is in the final phase of a £250m programme to upgrade its sites in Southampton and Winchester, having also opened a campus in Malaysia dedicated to engineering in 2012. The new site is on the southern tip of Malaysia, at the Iksandar Education City development, where undergraduates will study for two years before finishing their degree in Southampton.

An MEng in Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2014, which will be introduced into Southampton’s undergraduate study simultaneously.

The university has more than 5,000 international students and a network of overseas partnerships in 54 countries. Medical students can take part of their course in Europe and other students can spend up to a year abroad, paying only 15% of tuition fees for that year.

A specially-designed access programme gives students without the necessary qualifications for medicine a year’s tuition to enable them to enter the full medical degree course.

The main Highfield campus is in an attractive green location two miles from the city centre. The students’ union has been refurbished and a purpose-built student services centre added to bring together learning support and other advisory facilities. The library has been greatly extended and includes social learning space, designed by students.

The striking £55m Mountbatten Building for electronics and computer science and the Optoelectronics Research Centre and the £50m Life Sciences Building are recent additions.

Away from the Highfield headquarters, there are three other sites in the city, including the National Oceanography Centre Southampton, based in the revitalised dock area. A £50m joint project with the Natural Environment Research Council, it is considered Europe’s finest.

The Avenue campus, near the main site, is home to most of the humanities departments, while clinical medicine is based at Southampton General Hospital, where there a new research centre focuses on respiratory diseases.

Winchester School of Art, which has been part of the university since 1996, has also enjoyed significant investment in new facilities. The arts are well represented in Southampton, too, with three nationally renowned arts centres: the Turner Sims concert hall, the Nuffield Theatre and the John Hansard Gallery, all based at Highfield.

Sports facilities are first class, with an indoor sports complex next to the students’ union. The outdoor sports complex has grass and synthetic pitches.The university won a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for its research in performance sports engineering in 2011. Over 1,000 elite athletes, including Sir Chris Hoy, were helped in their Olympic preparation by the university’s aerodynamics research and wind tunnel complex.

Student accommodation is plentiful: two new residential complexes have added 1,460 rooms, making 6,500 in all.

学生观点Student view

Anjit Qulack, students’ union officer

First impressions

The media presence during fresher’s week like Surge, the university radio, which blasts out across campus.

Worst feature

Being an international student, it took a while to realise you press the red button to stop on uni-link buses and not when you have an emergency.

Making a difference

We have won the right to cap international student fees so you will pay the same throughout your time here.

Deal clincher

The union is inspiring and is a place where you learn a wealth of life skills.
