The Global Recruitment and Widening Participation and Social Mobility Teams work with schools, colleges and the community, to encourage learners to consider progression to higher education generally and to the University of Southampton specifically.

This occurs through a range of on and off-campus activities, including Campus Tours, Open Days, taster events, and Easter and Summer School residentials. Team members also carry out visits to schools and colleges each year, attending careers and higher education fairs, and delivering presentations to thousands of prospective students on higher education and the University of Southampton itself.

Student Ambassadors are at the heart of our activities, often fulfilling a supporting or coordinating role. Student Ambassadors provide a role model to the young people and mature learners we work with and can give first-hand experience of what university life is all about. This kind of interaction can have a significant impact on a young person or mature learner's decision making and confidence, a contribution towards encouraging them to achieve their potential and consider further and higher education as a realistic option.
