Join the University of Southampton's vibrant international student community. You'll receive a warm welcome and plenty of support to help you succeed.
Our international student community
Over 6,500 international students from more than 135 countries choose to study at the University of Southampton each year. In addition we have links with universities and partners around the world, making us a truly international institution.
The University of Southampton is one of a small group of universities chosen by the Home Office to join its Tier 4 visa pilot scheme. International students who are applying to study postgraduate taught programmes can benefit from this in several ways, including a longer post-study period and a simpler application process.
We understand that studying overseas can be a big step. We run a special induction programme to help you settle in and find your way around. We also offer support throughout your time at university.

EU students and Brexit
The Government has stated that EU students starting courses in England in the 2020/21 academic year will continue to be eligible for 'home fee status’, which means you will be charged the same tuition fees as UK students for the duration of your course. Learn more on our Brexit advice page.
