Transition Programme



Our Transition Programme 2022 has come to an end. Please do not worry, as you can still access support all-year-round.

If you would like to arrange a student support appointment to discuss support, please contact us via studenthub@soton.ac.uk

The Transition Programme is for students starting at the University of Southampton in the new academic year who have a disability, long-term health condition, mental health condition or a specific learning difference.

The core element of our Transition Programme is the appointment with the Specialist Practitioner. This is an opportunity to discuss your needs and how we can support you.
