Find out about our campus atmosphere, locations and general environment.

Our campuses are where you’ll have your lectures and classes. Each campus is a community of related subject areas, with study spaces, libraries, cafes and restaurants. Some also have gym and sports facilities. No matter which campus your studies are based at, you can use the facilities at any campus.

The campus is bigger than you might be used to at School or College and getting lost is common for new students and when timetables change. Becoming familiar with key buildings and locations may help you to prepare.

Our University of Southampton Campus Maps can be explored to give you a sense of some of the key places of interest and teaching spaces on each campus.

As part of our Student Disability and Inclusion Transition Programme, we offer bespoke campus tours and public transport tours. If you meet with a member of the Student Disability and Inclusion Team before you start University, you should be signposted to information about how you book on to these events. This would hopefully enable you to feel more confident about navigating the new space you are coming to!
