大学概况University Profile

The largest of the institutions to be awarded university status in the past 10 years, Southampton Solent also offers the widest range of programmes, stretching from further education courses to doctorates. It has an extensive range of ‘top-up’ and extended degrees; and multiple start dates for its courses.

The rebranded Solent Curriculum plays to the university’s strengths in "industry-focused" courses. Over 12,000 higher education students embrace a broad-based portfolio that covers business, technology, the creative industries, sport and maritime studies.

Students have the opportunity to work on projects for external clients and there is a strong representation of "non-traditional" disciplines, such as yacht and powercraft design, computer and video games, and music journalism and performance. The subject mix may be one reason that the former Southampton Institute is now one of the few universities with a majority of male students.

Typical of its external relationships is the 10-year association with the Glastonbury music festival. A team of 50 staff and students provided technical assistance this year, predominantly in the fields of film and production, this year running the festival’s digital media hub. Students involved are taking degrees in film; film and television production; media, culture and production; and popular music journalism, as well as other media technology courses.

Courses within the Faculty of the Creative Industries now attract almost as many students as the consistently popular business school. There are new music studios with an industry-standard recording complex, as well as a performance space and dance studio.

The Centre for Professional Development in Broadcasting and Multimedia Production includes an online editing suite, digital television studio and gallery, for use by undergraduates as well as community groups and professionals.

There is particularly strong demand for places in marine and maritime-based courses, which benefit from a world-renowned training and research facility for the superyacht, shipping and offshore oil industries.

The university is higher education’s premier yachting institution, with a world champion student team that has won the national championships four times in six years and alumni that have gone on to win Olympic and Paralympic gold medals. Three new boats support courses at the purpose-built Watersports Centre, where some activities are targeted towards disadvantaged young people.

The Lawrie McMenemy Centre for Football Research is helping to cement the university’s reputation for academic study of the sport and, having assumed responsibility for sport development in the city, Solent has also become the country’s largest provider of coaching education. A new School of Health, Exercise and Social Science was launched in 2013 to encourage collaboration in health and exercise science, social work and psychology.

Southampton Solent is in the middle of a £100m development programme on its city centre campus. The university has spent more than £40m expanding and improving its facilities over the last five years and is planning to invest another £59m over the next two decades.

A new £30m teaching and learning building will open in 2015 on a site that will extend the campus. Other recent developments include a ship handling centre, a media academy, a new site for the Southampton School of Art and Design and FA-accredited football facilities costing £4m that are used by the city’s Premier League team. The campus currently has few architectural pretensions, but is conveniently based in the centre of Southampton.

Solent recruits mainly in London and the south of England, a quarter of the HE students coming from Hampshire, but about 1,500 come from outside the UK. More than a third of the undergraduates come from working-class homes and 97% are state-educated.

Its support for students was recently identified as an example of best practice by the Quality Assurance Agency; the dropout rate has improved consistently over recent years, although it still stands at about one in six students, higher than the average for an institution of this type.

A Graduate Enterprise Centre provides advice and rent-free offices for those hoping to launch their own businesses, helping to bring about 40 start-ups from concept to securing financial backing. A Graduate Associate scheme provides employment places for about 100 recent graduates.

The university is held back in our league table by low satisfaction scores in the National Student Survey, where it remains in the bottom 10 in our analysis of the results published last month.

Solent also entered fewer academics for the last Research Assessment Exercise than any university in England – fewer than one in 10 of those eligible. But two of the three areas in which it made a submission contained some world-leading research and the university undertakes a wide range of applied research, as well as practice-based research in art and design.

Students like the university’s location, close to the city centre’s shopping area and growing complement of bars and nightclubs. There are more than 2,300 hall places, most of which are allocated to first years. Sports facilities include a sports hall and fitness suite on campus and outdoor pitches, tennis and netball courts four miles away. 

学生观点Student view

Naomi Oiku, students’ union president

First impressions

Societies enhance the student experience, I wasn’t interested in radio but joined Radio Sonar and now want to pursue it as a career.

Worst feature

As well as fees there are so many hidden costs, from books to materials to graduation fees.

Making a difference

We are pushing students to vote in the general election so we have more say on things like hidden course costs.

Deal clincher

We have a huge range of media courses and an internationally acclaimed Warsash Maritime Academy for sea-based skills.
