Community at Solent

We’re proud of our heritage, having grown and evolved in line with our home city. As Southampton has developed, so has Solent, opening the door for people to go on and build successful working lives. Our courses, staff, students and alumni reflect the changing dynamic and face of Southampton and the broader Solent region.

Located in the heart of Southampton we actively contribute to the city’s growing cultural scene. From performing live gigs to supporting business start-ups, showcasing contemporary art to inspiring young people to live healthy, active lives, we share our skills and resources to drive the city’s renaissance.

We champion the city’s strengths, recognise its challenges and seize the opportunity to work collaboratively to build a fairer and sustainable future for all. Our commitment to real-world learning provides opportunities for the community and industry to shape the curriculum, with our approach to partnership working reflective of our values.   

 Our connections, resources and knowledge allow us to take action on the issues we feel we can make a difference:   

• Creating a city of life-long learning  
• Building a culturally enriched and cohesive city  
• Championing a healthy and sustainable community  

Join us and be part of it.   

We are Southampton proud.
