With a strong track record of innovation and creativity, Solent has grown into one of the UK’s leading modern universities. Our roots in Southampton stretch back over a century, and we are proud of our deeply embedded ties to the city, the Solent region, and an ever-growing international community.

We place our students at the heart of everything we do. With more than 7,600 students, Solent has been recognised with triple Gold ratings in the Teaching Excellence Framework – a distinction that places us among a select group of institutions nationally. This award is a powerful endorsement of our distinctive, real-world approach to learning, and of the way we work with each student to meet their individual needs and ambitions.

While our heritage in the region is long-standing, we are a young and evolving university – and the decade ahead presents a vital opportunity to redefine and shape our institutional identity. That ambition is captured in our Strategy 2035, which positions Solent as a “diffusion engine” of intellectual and social innovation, committed to widening access, enhancing outcomes, and supporting economic, cultural and community development both locally and globally.

We are Confident. We are Progressive. We are Inclusive. We Are Solent.
