If you can't make it to one of our in-person campus open days, sign up for a virtual open day where you can learn all about student life and what it's like to study here from the comfort of your own home.
Event dates, times and how to register
Our Virtual Open Day events take place between 9am and 3.30pm on:
- Wednesday 2 July
- Saturday 8 November
Join live subject talks
At a virtual open day event, you'll be able to join subject talks presentated by academics from your subject area of interest. These are the same talks they presented at our campus open days so you won’t miss out. Each talk will have a question and answer session where you can post your questions in the chat function.
You'll also be able to join live student life talks focusing on accommodation, student finance and how to apply.
Our student ambassadors will be present throughout to help answer your questions. You’ll hear first-hand about their experiences at Southampton and get their insights into what life is like here.
Explore student life
We've pre-recorded some of our talks so you can fit them in around the live presentations. They include:
- personal statements - 10 top tips
- studying abroad
- sport at Southampton
Check out the on-demand resource booths
Alongside the live presentations you can also explore the subject and student life interactive digital resource "booths". You'll find videos of our campuses, module information, prospectuses, FAQs, and a whole host of other content to support your understanding of what life at Southampton would be like for you.
We’ve also got some fantastic facility videos to showcase the special spaces you’ll have access to as a student at the University.
After you have entered the event, simply click onto the “Exhibition Booths” tab at the top of the page and select the booth you want to explore. The booths will be available throughout the event, and afterwards too.

The virtual open day events are hosted on iVent. You’ll need to create a login using your name and email address to access the event platform.
We'll email you details and a link to join the event before the day. Your camera and microphone will automatically be turned off.
