Southampton Solent University

This place doesn't provide my class with the appropriate tools to do our work

Great Uni. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

My experience here was alright. Staff are all really nice and helpful, accommodation is also pretty well looked after (mainly Deanery.) I did the Indie Game dev course which was the main reason why I chose this uni as this course isn't really found elsewhere. Now, for some reason during the welcome week they assured you didn't need programming experience to do well etc as they'll teach you a lot from the basics. Well, that didn't really happen, in the first few lectures we end up diving into creating a game in C++... which to me isn't basic (considering C++ is one of the more difficult programming languages.) So that made me stress out and tutors weren't too helpful with that. They were nice though. They also did this 'independent learning scheme' which I think is BS, I think it's just a way of saying "we'll sit back while you do all the work, and we'll take a good portion of your tuition for this basic a** teaching, providing no help, just badly made powerpoint presentations that you could easily find online!" so yeah I ended up dropping out a few months after. The students that come here are generally nice, but beware you're gonna get quite a lot of trashy people due to low entry requirements (particularly in accommodation!) Other than that, facilities are good, the Spark building is really nice and staff are nice too. Accommodation was ok but it'd be great if I didn't wake up with silverfish on me! Southampton as a city is nice, but if you're going from somewhere like Manc/Bham/Ldn I wouldn't recommend it :s

I needed to update my cv.I was surprised the job centre recommended solent uni and i didn't realise they ran a service like this.The young lady did a wonderful job.I work mainly for agencies through online job sites and have a lot of job offers now mainly thanks to her efforts.I can't mention names but she e-mailed me to thank me for the chocolates. Well deserved young lady.I attended the chapel road campus and will do again to do a photography course.ten out of ten Solent Uni and the careers service.thank you.

It is a wonderful university.

This is a great place to work and study. If you want career focused higher education then this is the place, the applied university of Southampton and the region.

One of the best equipped library I have ever been to. Very good collection of books. I was very impressed with the architecture and facilities available in this library.
Every student's delight.

The heart of Southampton is Solent University. Always improving, always doing the best at teaching and getting their students to work in the industries. If you're interested to have really good education, book an open day, you won't regret it!
