The University’s continued investment in research facilities, totalling £200m over four years, has resulted in a number of state-of-the-art buildings. These include the award-winning EEE building, interdisciplinary Mountbatten Building and the Life Sciences Building.
We also have an enviable library service, offering over 2.5m publications, online resources, dedicated study areas and IT facilities.
The Student Services Centre is the central point of contact for all student queries. A dedicated team of trained advisors provides up-to-date advice and information about accommodation, enrolment, exams, fees, funding, graduation and ID cards.
All of our campuses and halls of residence are equipped with state-of-the-art computer facilities. These include high-speed wireless internet access, network points for laptops and public workstations.

At Southampton we are proud of our unrivalled Physics and Astronomy facilities with state-of-the-art, industry-standard equipment housed in superb laboratories.
We have benefited from considerable University investment in our facilities in recent years, which has proved central to our growth. Our student astronomy domes were re-equipped and we have invested in upgrading the undergraduate laboratories. The new NanoMaterials Rapid Prototyping Facility is also used extensively by undergraduate students as part of their project work.
Our Mountbatten Building houses one of the world’s leading cleanroom laboratory complexes for materials and device research in diverse fields ranging from electronics through photonics to bionanotechnology.
