Our Chilworth campus is situated just north of Southampton. It is easily reached by car, being close to the M3 & M27, whilst there is a weekday bus service that runs from Southampton to the Chilworth Science Park. There's plenty of parking, a bike shelter, and showers.

On campus you'll find a subsidised canteen. You can also blow off steam over a game of pool or table tennis and stay fit at our subsidised gym or enjoy a walk into the nearby countryside, with the Chilworth Conservation area right on our doorstep.
