Acoustics
Explore our research case studies on acoustics where sound pervades virtually every aspect of human life.
Our research generates engineering solutions to real-world problems based on robust science. We are motivated by current societal needs. Our research is therefore aligned with recent UK Government priority areas, as set out in the UK Industrial Strategy.
96% of our Engineering research impact is recognised as world-leading or internationally excellent (REF2021).
Autonomous Systems
Our autonomous systems research is bridging the gap between the practical and theoretical state of the art in aerial and marine robotics.
Bioengineering
Much of our bioengineering research is organised through a number of proactive, interdisciplinary research centres.
Computational Engineering
Explore our computational engineering case studies where modern engineering relies heavily on the computational simulation.
Energy and Climate Change
Energy and Climate Change research at the University of Southampton supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Fluid Dynamics
The mechanics of fluid flow is one of the hardest problems in the science that underpins engineering. Explore our case studies tackling these problems.
Infrastructure
Explore our case studies that use a wide range of investigative techniques to identify how structures behave and interact with their environments on land, in coastal regions and offshore.
Materials, Solid Mechanics and Surface Engineering
Our experts are working across a wide number of application areas, from aerospace and automotive materials, to energy materials, surface engineering and corrosion.
Transportation
Transportation of physical goods and people is a critical part of our everyday lives. Our research aims to improve understanding of transportation across road and pavement, rail, air and maritime.
Water and Environmental Engineering
Our water and river engineering research integrates experimentation, modelling and field studies to understand the impacts of water resource exploitation on freshwater ecosystems.
