Location

Southampton is located on the South coast of England, close to the New Forest and the Isle of Wight. Just over one hour by train from London. The main campus is bordered by the beautiful Southampton Common - over 300 acres of managed woodland - creating the perfect combination of a thriving natural environment and a bustling, cosmopolitan city. One of the UK's top 10 retail destinations, a busy port and sailing centre, and one of the safest places to live in the UK, Southampton is a city that looks to the future with expectation and ambition. Excellent road, rail, sea and air links to the area enables students to travel extensively and always be flexible about transportation. Southampton Airport is located nearby, which is also beneficial for the international students. Moreover, especially for their students, University-owned bus service provides transport across the city.
