Which best applies to you?
Join the career-ready revolution
We’ve introduced block teaching for many of our courses, strengthening student learning and wellbeing and giving you the time to practice professional skills and gain work experience alongside your studies.
Our courses are practice-led, meaning you get hands-on experience from day one in industry-standard facilities and benefit from opportunities for work experience across every programme.
Courses are developed in partnership with our industry connections, ensuring they're up to date with industry requirements. These connections mean every graduate leaves with a portfolio of real work, not just a degree certificate.
In the most recent National Student Survey, we were recognised as the best university in Hampshire for learning opportunities - championing our teaching and student support.
We're here for you, even after you graduate. Our Solent Careers team can offer guidance and support throughout your working life, whenever you need it.
Our student experience and student outcomes are typically outstanding.

Have you thought about a foundation year?
If you didn't get the grades you need or don't quite feel ready to jump straight into degree-level study, a foundation year could be the perfect choice for you.
The benefits of a foundation degree are:
Lower entry requirements.
Academic support to help you prepare for uni-level study.
A broad introduction to your industry before you start your specialist degree.
