Psychology

Who we are

International

A welcome to Southampton. A world of opportunities.

As one of Britain's major ports, Southampton is accustomed to welcoming visitors from all over the world.

Here in Psychology, we realise that our students need a qualification that will enable them to get a job in an international job market. This is not just about the qualification itself. It is also about the experiences that we can provide, with the sports, cultural and other activities available on campus and beyond.

When you come here, you will find a rich diversity of nationalities represented through our staff, our researchers and our students, and in Southampton itself. Many of our staff have lived and worked in other countries. 

We understand that choosing to study abroad can be a big step. We offer a substantial bursary to international students to ease the cost of studying abroad. We also work proactively with the University support networks to help new arrivals settle into a different culture, and studying in a non-native language.
