Campus tours | University of Southampton

If you are not able to attend one of our Open Days or Visit Days, our Highfield and Avenue campus tours are a great opportunity to get a general overview of what it's like to live and study here, and to see our state-of-the-art facilities for yourself.

Highfield is our main campus, where the library, student union and sports facilities are based. However. please check which campus your chosen subject is based at before booking a tour; we are a multi-campus university and not all of our facilities and subjects are based on the Highfield or Avenue Campuses.
