Business and Heritage Management MSc

University of Southampton

I'm getting comfortable in my 2nd year in Southampton. I only have 12 hours of lectures and seminars every week, so it's around 2.5hours something per day which is not a lot at all, compared to other universities.

It’s what you make of it, I personally don’t get involved with the student union to know how good it actually is. The campus is really nice; loads of buildings to work in, green spaces and accessible. Only thing I would mention about lecture halls is making the desks big enough to actually fit a piece of paper on, it’s very frustrating.

the university has a very welcoming and inclusive atmosphere/community which makes it easier to adjust and feel part of the university.

Overall, my experience at the University of Southampton has been quite positive. The university provides exceptional student support, with a strong emphasis on mental well-being. Additionally, the campus itself looks great (I love the gardens), and the convenience of the Unilink buses connecting all campuses is a significant advantage. The university's Student Union (SUSU) offers many engaging activities every week, providing ample opportunities for students to socialize and unwind. I particularly enjoy the Stag's Karaoke night—an event that never fails to lift spirits. While my overall experience has been positive, I must acknowledge a couple of drawbacks. While Southampton has its charms, it may not be the most visually captivating city. In terms of nightlife, while at first the clubs can be quite interesting, after a while it can get repetitive as we don't have many good clubs. Despite these minor drawbacks, I am thoroughly enjoying my time here and I'm grateful for the enriching experiences and opportunities it has afforded me.

I got a fail in introduction to marketing where I did not treat it like a joke I actually sat down for 20-30h and did the essay and presentation. The most frustrating part is I only get to talk to the professor for 10 minutes about hoe to improve. Luckily I get to have a talk with beth in academic hub in hartley library.
