Our civic charter
We are proud of our heritage, having grown and evolved in line with our home city and global outlook. As business and society have adapted, so has Southampton Solent, evolving into a multiversity which opens the door for people to develop their skills, nurtures their ideas and exchanges knowledge across communities. Our courses, staff, learners and alumni reflect the changing dynamic of higher education and that of our local, national and global communities we serve.
Located in the heart of Southampton, our impact reaches far beyond our campus, with the institution acting as a diffusion engine far beyond the city region. Knowledge, innovation and inspiration ripple out across Hampshire and our further afield communities, with our network of Southampton Solent alumni going on to build successful working lives.
We actively contribute to the region’s growing cultural scene, from supporting business start-ups to performing live gigs at city venues, delivering community law clinics to inspiring residents to live healthy, active lives, we are utilising our skills, knowledge and recourses to fuel the region’s economic growth.
We champion the region’s strengths, recognise its challenges and seize the opportunity to work collaboratively and build a fairer, sustainable future for all. Our commitment to practice-led learning and research provides opportunities for business and society to shape our future provision in line with our institutional values.
Our connections, resources and knowledge allow us to make an impact on the issues that we believe can make the greatest difference.
