EXPERIENCE YOUR
NEW WORLD
What if you had the chance to see the world, enhance your
studies and boost your career opportunities at the same
time? At Southampton we make that possible. Through
studying abroad you can make life-changing experiences
fulfilling and affordable.

Experiencing the thrill and challenge
of travelling abroad is a major reason
why many choose packing their bags
over continuing their studies.
At Southampton, you can do both.
Our students have the opportunity
to enhance their life experience and
their degree all at the same time
through studying abroad.
Whether that be as part of the year
abroad on one of our Maths with
Languages courses, or an international
exchange, we can offer the perfect
balance of immersing yourself in a
different culture while adding value to
your studies.
Our long-established network with
a range of partner institutions
worldwide gives our students the
option of spending a semester at
world-renowned universities in
Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia,
North and South America
as well as Europe.
Studying abroad through our
University means you will benefit from
an array of financial help in the form of
free travel insurance and scholarships.
When spending a full academic year
abroad, your tuition fees will decrease
by 85 per cent for UK/EU
students and by 50 per cent for
international students.
To help prepare you for the experience
we offer a free or subsidised language
course to give you a head start as you
take on the world.
On your return, your application for
a place in halls will be prioritised, easing
the worry of finding accommodation
when you come back.
You may also be eligible for student
finance loans or non-repayable
grants, depending on your
personal circumstances.
With the support we give and the
opportunities on offer, all we need
is your thirst for adventure.

WORLD-CLASS
RESEARCH
Optimising spacecraft design
Our research is enabling the European Space
Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft.
Today’s spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research,
communications, meteorology, navigation and security.
Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense, so the
design of efficient but lightweight system components
is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development.
Mathematics researchers, led by Professor Joerg Fliege,
created an innovative software toolbox that enables
ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off
between efficiency and effectiveness, optimising the
design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat
pipes, turbo pumps and injection chambers. The
software can also be used to help plot the course
of space missions to minimise fuel costs.

Surinder Bahra
BSc Mathematics, 2017;
Associate, PwC UK

“My interest in business arose from doing several

finance-related modules, which equipped me with a
broad understanding of business and how it relates
to the wider world.

“The course helped me to develop the necessary

expertise and confidence to successfully apply for
an internship with PwC. As an assurance intern I
learned the foundations of accounting, allowing me
to work effectively with colleagues to provide
high-quality audit services to a host of clients,
including FTSE 100 companies.

“Following a partner interview, I was then offered a

We will introduce you to the main areas of mathematics, develop your understanding
of key mathematical concepts and cover more advanced concepts and techniques.
As you progress you will develop your capacity for analysis, problem solving,
logical argument and deductive reasoning, abstraction and generalisation.
Your mathematics degree
We offer a range of degrees including
three-year single and combined
honours courses and our prestigious
four-year integrated masters degrees.
They share a set of required modules
in year one with increasing module
choice in subsequent years, enabling
you to tailor your course of study to
suit your interests. For example, you
might prefer to specialise in one area,
such as applied mathematics, or select
a wider variety of modules. Either way,
you’ll be able to choose from an
extensive list of options.
Each module is designed to enhance
your transferable skills as well as your
subject knowledge. You’ll develop
your IT, group work, analytical and
presentation skills – all essential for
future employment or study. You
could also choose to spend a semester
studying abroad to further broaden
your experience.
Teaching and learning
Problem solving is at the heart of all
mathematical thinking, and this will
be an integral part of your learning
experience. Most modules comprise
three lectures and one supervised
workshop or problem class per week.
In most cases, your lecturer will give
you a weekly set of problems to tackle
during the workshop and in your spare
time. As well as counting towards
your final assessments, these problem
sheets will provide essential practice
and enhance your understanding
of the subject. In some cases
coursework is also used as part
of the final module assessment.
During your first year, your work
will be assessed weekly and you will
receive feedback at workshops.
In the second and third years, learning
support normally takes place in
lecture classes and timetabled
tutorials. You will also have regular
access to individual advice.
Student support
Our degrees are intellectually
challenging but we offer plenty of
support to help you succeed. Regular
meetings with your personal tutor
give you the opportunity to discuss
your progress and any issues or
concerns. You will also have access
to advice and support from a senior
tutor, a course coordinator
and numerous support staff.
We hold workshops twice a week
to provide support for your weekly
assignments, and extra support in
the run-up to exams. These are
drop-in support sessions where
lecturers are on hand to provide
extra help and advice.
At the start of your first year you can
opt into a student-led buddy scheme,
where a second or third-year maths
student can advise you on how to get
your studies and student life off to a
good start.
Our Mathematical Sciences Student
Centre provides a focus
for our teaching and learning and
a new communal space for
mathematics students.
For more general support, our
network of student resources
provides access to support and
information in person, online and
out-of-hours. Students can also use
the University’s counselling service
and confidential support and advice
services run by the Students’
Union. There are two health
practices on campus.
YOUR COURSES
Flexible study
Whichever course you choose, in year
one you’ll study at least five core
mathematics modules. This means
there is plenty of flexibility to transfer
between courses. In many cases,
students can even transfer to another
course as late as the start of year two.
Computing and
digital resources
In your first year you will learn how
to use specific mathematical and
statistical computer packages, such
as MAPLE© and Minitab©, which will
prove useful throughout your degree.
You will have access to free Wi-Fi and
thousands of computers, including
quick access Express Workstations
across the University’s campuses
and halls of residence.
Maths societies
Two student-run maths societies offer
extra opportunities for career
development, support and socialising.
The Maths Society (SUMS) and the
Southampton University Actuarial
Society (SUAS) run a variety of
career-related events, such as skills
workshops and employer
presentations. For more information

TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
The University’s Charter, statutes, regulations and policies are set out in the University
Calendar and can be accessed online at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk
Terms of use
This prospectus does not constitute an offer or
invitation by the University of Southampton to study at
Southampton. It provides an overview of the University
and life at Southampton, along with information about
all the undergraduate programmes available at the time
of publication. This is provided for information
purposes only. Applications made to the University
should be made based on the latest programme
information made available by the University. Relevant
weblinks are shown throughout. Please also consult the
programme information online for further details or for
any changes that have appeared since first publication
of the prospectus.
The information contained in the prospectus, welcome
guides or on our websites is subject to change and may
be updated by the University from time to time to
reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing
requirements of professional bodies and changes in
academic staff members’ interests and expertise.
Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and
review by the University, external agencies or regulators.
Programme Validation
Validation is the process by which the University
approves its programmes of study. Any taught
undergraduate and postgraduate programme leading
to a University of Southampton award, including
research degrees with a taught component (e.g.
Engineering Doctorate) are required to go through
Programme Validation. The full validation process can
be found in the University’s Quality Handbook:
www.southampton.ac.uk/quality
1. Change or discontinuance
of programmes
The University of Southampton will use all reasonable
efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other
services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions
set out in the prospectuses, student handbooks,
welcome guides and website. It will provide students
with the tuition and learning support and other services
and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill.
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes,
services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement.
We are largely funded through public and charitable
means and are required to manage these funds in an
efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the
whole of the University community. We therefore,
reserve the right where necessary to:
– alter the timetable, location, number of classes,
content or method of delivery of programmes of
study and/or examination processes, provided such
alterations are reasonable;
– make reasonable variations to the content and
syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation
to placements);
– suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for
example, because a key member of staff is unwell or
leaves the University);
– make changes to our statutes, ordinances, regulations,
policies and procedures which we reasonably consider
necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the
law or the requirements of the University’s regulators).
Such changes if significant will normally come into force
at the beginning of the following academic year or, if
fundamental to the programme, will normally come
into force with effect from the next cohort of students;
– close programmes of study or to combine or merge
them with others (for example, because too few
students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).
However, any revision will be balanced against the
requirement that students should receive the
educational service expected. The University’s
procedures for dealing with programme changes and
closures can be found in our Quality Handbook at
www.southampton.ac.uk/quality
If the University closes, discontinues or combines a
programme of study or otherwise changes a programme
of study significantly (the ‘Change’), the University will
inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected
by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity.
a. If the Change comes into force before the University
has made an offer of a place or before an applicant
has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be
entitled to withdraw his or her application, without
any liability to the University, by informing the
University in writing within a reasonable time of being
notified of the Change.
b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has
been accepted but prior to the student enrolling,
the student may either:
i) withdraw from the University and be given an
appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or
ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as
may be offered by the University for which the
student is qualified.
If in these circumstances the student wishes to
withdraw from the University and to apply for a
programme at a different university, the University shall
use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.
c. If the Change comes into force after a student has
enrolled, the University will use reasonable
endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot
guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out
a programme of study, it will use its reasonable
endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to
an equivalent programme for which the student is
qualified and which has places available within the
University or at a different university. Any revision will
be balanced against the requirement that students
should receive the educational service expected.
2. Changes to services or facilities
The University will make available to students such
learning support and other services and facilities as it
considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides
from time to time (for example, the University may
consider it desirable to change the way it provides
library or IT support).
3. Financial or other losses
The University will not be held liable for any direct or
indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from
such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers
of any programme of study, service or facility.
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place
at the University, the relationship between the applicant
and the University becomes contractual. When the
contract is formed between the student and the
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
University it will last for the relevant academic year only
unless the student withdraws from the programme or
the programme is terminated.
Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a
programme of study under the provisions set out in
paragraph 1b. above following a Change are in addition to
any statutory rights of cancellation that may exist under
the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and
Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into
that contract, the terms of the contract will not be
enforceable by any person not a party to that contract
under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
Force majeure
The University will not be held liable for any loss,
damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation
or failure in the provision of programmes of study,
services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond
the University’s reasonable control, including (but not
limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist
activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster,
adverse weather conditions, interruption in power
supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott
and telecommunications failure. In the event that such
circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the
University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to
minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so
provided that such endeavours do not undermine the
University’s Quality Assurance requirements.
Admissions Policy and complaints
The University will assess applications in line with its
then current Admissions Policy. This policy is reviewed
at least annually. The Admissions Policy, current at the
time of publication, is published online and is available at
www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/
admissions.html
Before you apply please see subject websites listed for
subject-specific terms and conditions.
Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions
under the University’s Regulations Governing
Complaints from Applicants, which can be found at
www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/
admissions.html
Further information about or clarification of these
procedures is available from the Admissions team,
Student and Academic Administration, University of
Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ;
admissions@soton.ac.uk
Data protection
During the application procedure, the University will be
provided with personal information relating to the
applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and
processed by the University in accordance with the
requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.
