The University of Southampton

You’ll learn from academics who take their teaching as seriously as their research. Keen to share their passion for physics with you, they bring a high level of professionalism to your education.

Find out more about our commitment to professionalism in teaching.

We combine traditional teaching and learning methods with tried-and-tested innovations to improve your learning experience. Using live-commenting technology you can ask a question from your seat in the lecture hall and get a response during the session. Or if you need a bit of extra help, you can watch a tutor explain a tricky derivation or theory via an online video tutorial.

This is a challenging degree, but our approachable academics are on hand to help if you need it. When you arrive you’ll be allocated a personal academic tutor who is there to support you throughout your studies. Or you can bring physics queries to our weekly drop-in sessions with postgraduate students – if they can’t help straight away, they will get back to you with an answer.
