Welcoming students from all over the world

With a global reputation for quality research, a network of partnerships across the world and students from over 100 countries, the University is an international institution. With a lively campus life and excellent facilities, it’s also a great place to study.

Geography's world-class research work means that we are in professional contact with a range of universities and other institutions overseas, especially in Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Australia.

The majority of our staff have either lived or studied in other countries, and so we understand that choosing to study abroad can be a big step. We offer a range of support to help you enjoy your time at Southampton to the fullest. Over a third of our postgraduate students are from overseas.
