Southampton is a picturesque port city located on England’s delightful south coast, a popular destination for UK holidaymakers and tourists alike. Its proximity to water inevitably makes the sea a key component in Southampton’s history, so be sure to check out the fascinating SeaCity Museum. It is home to an interactive model of the Titanic, which set off from the city on its final voyage.

Catch a glimpse of the iconic wartime Spitfire at the Solent Sky Museum, and prepare to be taken aback by more than 800 years of all things Southampton at Tudor House & Garden.

While the city’s past is an intriguing tale, its future is equally bright and there has never been a better time to study in a place where over 30,000 students enjoy luxury entertainment venues, shops, restaurants and leisure activities at the new £70 million WestQuay complex.

The presence of such a thriving student population enhances Southampton’s nightlife. Take your favourite spirits along to unique cocktail bar Bring & Mix and they will do the rest for you! Elsewhere, Overdraft is a big hit amongst craft ale enthusiasts, while The Stags Head and The Bridge are regular student haunts.
