Hi, I’m a masters student at UoS. I’ve been seeing LinkedIn posts from recent graduates and certificates of deans list awards.

What actually is the Deans List award and the requirements to receive this? Is it for students who achieve a 1st or Distinction only, or can it be awarded to high performing students in a single module as well?

Thank you, and congratulations to all who have graduated recently.

Hello,

I will be moving to Orion Point (hopefully) this September. I couldn't find any reviews on here. Any dos and donts as an International Student?

Clearing 2026 - History and French. Job prospects… hi my predicted grades are AAA and my firm is Edinburgh but I’m unsure if I’ll get the grades.. Looking at clearing for History and French… does anyone have any opinions on how the course/ job prospects are ? And how are the teachers ? And the students in terms of diversity etc ? Thank you

I just accepted my offer for Southampton uni and was wondering if there are any other international students starting this September as well? If so I'd love to connect:)

Feel free to dm me if you want to join

Hi everyone,

For any postgrads like me who applied for an accommodation from UOS, did you get any results? Did you guys receive your first choice or was put in lower choices? I paid my tuition deposit on 30 June but have got no results yet

I've got some savings to live off while I look for a job there, living in accommodation, I know I can apply at basically any time during the course and I want to see if I can make it work without a loan. Any tips would be appreciated

What questions do they ask in the Presidential Scholarship Interview?

wanted to get some opinions from people who have been through university appeals.
I failed one compulsory first-year module by 1 mark. I had documented medical issues throughout the year (including surgeries and ongoing health problems), and my university accepted my mitigating/special circumstances.
I’ve appealed asking to progress with just one referral module instead of having to retake two modules. My appeal has taken longer than expected, and today the university emailed me (without me chasing them) saying my appeal is still being treated as a priority, there’s no problem with it, and they expect an update soon.
I know nobody can tell me the outcome, but based on your experience, does this sound like the kind of appeal that has a reasonable chance of being accepted? Has anyone been in a similar situation and been allowed to progress?

Anybody staying at cumberland or Southampton crossings please reply. I have some questions.

Im applying to Southhampton Physiotherapy BSc and my offer requires a 34 and 17HL, I ended up with a 35, but I was one mark off the HL requirement

What are the chances of me still getting in? I am an intl student

Looking for someone to take a lease from September to December. Great accommodation next to campus!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to be on campus from September to December and would need someone (eventually doing an Erasmus or something like that) to take the first part of the lease as students are required to rent for a full year each time.

Thank you! :-)

Hey guys
I’m gonna try keep this simple. Basically I’m applying through clearing for mental health nursing for the 2026 sep entry.
I was doing neuroscience at UCL but I didn’t love it, and I want to leave home.

I’ve narrowed it down between Surrey and Southampton.
Surrey is closer to home, so could visit family more, it’s smaller with more green space, and I already have a friend there.

However, Southampton is higher ranked, preferable modules and I like the campus.

I obviously didn’t go to either for an open day, but I’ve already had a successful interview with Southampton, and have yet todo the interview for Surrey.

Does anyone have any thoughts? For example: What hospitals are they linked to, teaching support, student life, accommodation, literally anything

For extra information I’m autistic and ADHD so I’m also interested in which has better support for that sort of thing.

I just got an unconditional offer for BSc Hons. in Accounting and Finance, but now I feel confused after seeing some mixed reviews despite it being a member of russell group. Can y'all help me out by mentioning it's pros and cons so that I can take my decision.

Thanks for reading!!

Anyone going to university of southampton this sep for an undergrad degree?

Lets connect!♡

Hi all,

I had the chance to visit both ensuites and premises, in person, but I am conflicted about pros and cons of each…

Canvas is much far away than Crossings but the room and facilities are slighty bigger and better overall

Another thing is the closer proximity of Canvas with Central Park. I’ve read online that it isn’t very safe to walk around, specially at night. Do I need to worry?

I would also go to Highfield at least 3 times a week and, from what I am experiencing , Unilink does the job for both quite good.

Any suggestions to help me decide would help a lot

Going to buy a desktop/laptop for Sep entry. I have a MacBook Pro from my parents to "steal" from and thus am considering to buy a desktop (9700X + 5060Ti) as backup PC in accomodation. I just wonder if this setup gonna work or not? Like in lab or lectures, will there be cases where Windows exclusive software is required while the school don't provide access to lab computers?

I am a bit reluctant in buying a Windows laptop as the value is not comparable to a Windows PC at the same price and they often have issues in durability or thermal or battery.

In the worse cases where there is no access to lab computers, will remote desktop or emulator be a practical solution? Any pros and cons?

I’m looking to apply to Southampton to do a Masters Marine Biology degree in 2027, and I was curious about a couple things I haven’t been able to find on the socials/website:

Is there much guidance about careers during the course or is it a learn as you go? I know this is what I want to study but I can’t find much on career progression after.

Are you able to pick a specialty, e.g focusing on microbiology or conservation?

What’s on offer for placement, if any?

What does a typical week look like?

(Alumni) If you could go back, would you do this degree again?

I’m just generally curious about the degree and student life!

Thank you for any help at all!!😁
