It’s blended learning, we have most of it online but some hours in the lab every other week. There is great encouragement to get in touch with tutors as much as we need which is very helpful, as well as fast responses to emails from our lecturers.

Yes

As a first year i haven't used this much, but there is a building on campus purported to be for careers advice, and we've had guest talks from engineering institutions such as iMechE come in and help with graduate prospects and industrial placement year support

The course is mostly taught in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Sometimes concepts are assumed to already be known by students that isn't by most of the cohort, but there are sufficient methods to contact teachers and tutorial sessions that gaps in understanding can be addressed. The lecture slides and other recourses are readily available in almost all cases, although the engineering maths module is just reading from a textbook which can sometimes be hard to motivate oneself to do

When we're allowed to access campus facilities and not barred by coronavirus restrictions, they're well kept up and well supervised, help is usually not far away especially in engineering workshops and technicians are knowledgeable and helpful/

There are many student and staff led opportunities for support and offers to join wellbeing groups are given at the start of term.

In my course there is an employability module, however this often gets clouded by the many other emails we receive and because of this I have little information regarding the employability opportunities. Despite this, before joining Southampton university, the post-graduate percentage who become employed in the first year was a high priority and so although I cannot remember this figure, I know it was at a good level.

All lectures are online with a mixture of live lectures and recorded lectures. Meet with tutor online once every two weeks and have a mix of assignments including group work and essays. The course is quite reading heavy but this is sometimes supported with an interactive seminar where we can discuss with our course mates.

Although the shared space we are allowed to use is limited because of the COVID-19 situation, the dove we are allowed to use is accessible and well cleaned. The library is currently open during working hours and all shared corridors and stairs are cleaned everyday. The common room and other similar spaces are not currently open. I have not experienced much of the equipment and facilities due to a reduced amount of in-person lectures, but from what I have seen I am quite impressed. A range of sports facilities are also available which I have made use of.

The university have offered extensive mental health support during the various lockdowns offering a helpline or someone to just chat too if needed. It also seems to offer good disability support which I know the importance off because I have two disabled brothers. I have not made use of these services as of yet, but expect that they will be useful in the future.

Yes

Southampton has its own database aim solely at jobs, placements, internships and different opportunities. The information and support available is amazing. If you are doing a course that involves a placement then for the entire of year 1 you will have a class once a week dedicated to the placement process

For the first semester it was taught mainly online with a few non-compulsory face to face lectures. Since Christmas it has all be online. With regards to teaching hours...I have around 5 hrs a week of online lectures but then it is expected to do around 20-30 hrs of independent study each week. Contact with the tutors is really easy via email only. They are all very quick at responding and have a lot of understanding for all the situations each student may be experiencing.
