CLEARING 2025 IS NOW OPEN

Solent - a civic university

Local to global

Our East Park Terrace campus is based in the heart of the city with satellite sites located across the wider city region. We are proud to call Southampton our home, with our impact rippling across the region to benefit Hampshire and the wider Central South.

Being located in the Solent region, the powerhouse of the UK’s maritime sector, our impact goes far beyond our regional shores. Our global connectivity as a university and place enables us to collaboratively champion and celebrate the region’s diverse communities.

We are a civic university and were among the first in the UK to officially launch a civic agreement – Solent’s Civic Charter. The Charter outlines our commitment to our communities here in Southampton and across the region. You can discover more about our charter, impact to date, and ways to get involved below. If you would like to begin collaborating with us, simply enter your details here and a member of the team will be in touch.
