Tech Hubs | iSolutions | University of Southampton

Our Tech Hubs, powered by iSolutions, provide free in-person IT support for all staff and students.

You don’t need an appointment. Just drop-in and speak to one of our friendly support experts.

Please be aware that as a walk-in service, there may be a short wait during peak times.

Visit a Tech Hub

Our flagship Tech Hub can be found in the Hartley Library offering the widest range of services. Other local Tech Hubs and in-person support can be found across our campuses.

How we can help

Tech Hub staff can help you with a wide range of IT topics including:

Support for students using their personal devices
Support for staff or students using any university owned or university managed device
Repairs to university-owned or student-owned personal IT devices / equipment
Advice / training on using core university software or applications (such as OneDrive, Office 365 and operating systems)
A collection and drop off service for IT equipment
A set up service for devices or software
Information and signposting on all other iSolutions services

Support at our Tech Hub is completely free. However, if you need to buy something to fix an issue - eg: a new piece of equipment or part - then you will need to cover these costs yourself.

I went to the Tech Hub and not only did they fix my problem, they were a great IT crowd to talk to - it was fun!

Really first rate experience - super friendly, efficient and helpful.

We are also committed to helping staff and students who cannot easily travel to a Tech Hub. Please raise a ticket through the Service Portal if you need support in this way.
