General presentations

Our general presentations cover a wide range of subjects, helping to provide you with everything there is to know about Southampton Solent University.

At today's event, our general presentations cover the application process (for those who haven't yet applied) and what happens now you have applied (for those who have). There will also be the opportunity to find out about sport at Solent and ask our Student Ambassadors anything as part of the Solent Experience Q&A. Why not start your day by joining our Pro-Vice Chancellor, Sarah Jones, as she welcomes you to Southampton and Solent University.

Our course tasters offer an interactive session, hosted by our academic teams, providing you with hands-on experience of studying your chosen course at Solent University. 

All undergraduate students are welcome to attend the course taster, even if you have not yet applied. If you haven't applied and would like more information about your course of interest, then we recommend visiting the course information hubs in the Spark atrium to speak to the academics teams who can answer any questions you may have, before attending the course taster.

Please note course tasters are for students only. Guests are welcome to attend the Deans tours or talks at 12.15pm-1.15pm. Alternatively, head up to our guest lounge for complimentary refreshments, explore the city or visit one of our many information hubs across the Spark Atrium.

If you are unsure on how to find your course taster, then visit the information hub in the Spark Atrium and one of our friendly Student Ambassadors will guide you to your room.
