Welcome to Southampton

A Great Place to Live and Study

A major commercial centre and university city on the south coast, Southampton combines the modern and the historic and is ideally located.

 

 

A Long Maritime History
Southampton is best known for the Titanic, which sailed from here in 1912. Today, the city is still the ‘cruise ship capital’ of England and is a major centre for sailing and shipping.

 

A Lively University City
Southampton’s population of 230,000 includes 35,000 university students. This gives the city a young, vibrant atmosphere and an exciting nightlife.

At the heart of the city are beautiful parks which offer great places to relax and have fun.
