Campus Locations

Highfield Campus

Highfield Campus

Highfield Campus is the main campus and the heart of the university. Southampton has 8 campuses in the UK and Malaysia, with 6 in Southampton, 1 in Winchester and 1 in Malaysia. It’s home to their biggest library, Students’ Union (SUSU), the Student Hub, spaces for faith and reflection, a health centre, a shop and endless places to study or catch up with friends.

Southampton are investing £600m to update their campuses, to make sure that all students have the best possible opportunities and experience. They’ve just opened a new extension to their sports facilities, part of a £50m investment.

Even if your subject has a specialist campus, it’s likely you’ll have lectures and spend time at Highfield Campus.

Southampton's UK campuses are well connected by public transport, and some are within easy walking distance.
