Sort:Latest reviewsThere are many recourses provided all around the university so if you need help of any kind support is always available. Certain accommodations are a bit questionable in quality.
Staff are very helpful and the facilities are up to date.
Location in the city is great and all of its buildings are close to each other. Great resources, nice staff. My only bad experience is accommodation with moving in and some things not working as well as mould.
Annie Sanger-Davis is the best course leader EVER!! If you can join this course
It has great facilities for photography
I feel as if the teaching could be improved slightly. But apart from that, it’s been fun so far.
Southampton Solent University is an overall great place for students to study, offering excellent facilities, supportive staff, and a diverse learning environment. The university provides a practical approach to education, ensuring students gain real-world experience alongside their academic studies. However, student life could be enhanced by offering more social events, parties, and get-togethers. These activities would help students connect, build friendships, and create a stronger sense of community on campus. With a livelier student social scene, Solent University would become an even more enjoyable and well-rounded place to study.
More fairs they are always so helpful with meeting people and getting to know the local area
the best aspect is the student support facilities. They really do fight for your case!
All the facilities, campus, teaching patterns, all the staff and support everything is amazing.
My uni course is amazing! Nothing to complain about with that. I just had a horrible experience with one of the mental health therapists, didn’t make me feel heard and was very patronising.
The facilities for my course are amazing and I love the location of campus! I feel the student union could do more to support students and create a sense of community
It's great to connect with people, but I feel left apart by some lecturers
Good
I love how the timetable is structured and how the university supports you in whatever you are trying to do. The location is okay and I don’t mind the structure either but there could be more places to study. However, I don’t like how resits are capped at 40% since it feels like, no matter how well you do the second time, you just get capped at the lowest past rate. Overall though, I love this university since it feels more relaxed but still academic and, for me, is very accommodating.
location of uni is great close to town and acomadations. facility’s are very good including the hatch (renting out camera equipment) and makeup rooms.
I love Solent university, the close knit community you get from a smaller university is incredible, I’m currently starting to think about my dissertation and my teachers have sent me different articles and papers saying ‘I saw this and thought of you, I think it could help or relate to your chosen topic’ you aren’t just a number here you are an actual person who they want to see succeed! It’s refreshing! Solent has made me fall back in love with education and has even made me consider doing a masters! The only thing is the night life and safety at night, that’s nothing to do with the university though and falls into the council. I am so proud to be a student at Solent and will forever sing its praises as a place to study and find what you love to do! I think more people need to know about the dock as a place to eat on campus!
best aspect is getting feedback from my technician and having their help whenever they’re around for shoots. worst aspect is coming back from shopping with a massive shopping bag and having to walk home
4.2
Best aspect is meeting people and the worst is how much everything costs
More reasoned like adobe indesign at home from use of uni email
Paying for the washing is draining me off my money
