Southampton Üniversitesi (İngilizce: The University of Southampton, kısa adı: Soton ^[2]) Southampton, İngiltere'de bulunan bir devlet araştırma üniversitesidir.^[3] Üniversitenin temeli 1862 yılında Henry Robinson Hartley tarafından the Corporation of Southampton'a yapılan bağış ile kurulan Hartley Institution'a dayanır. 1902'de, enstitü Londra Üniversitesi adına lisans veren the Hartley University College'a evrilir.^[4] 29 Nisan 1952'de de bir Kraliyet İmtiyaznamesi ile kuruma üniversite statüsü verilir.

Üniversite yedi kampüse sahiptir.^[5] Ana kampüs Southampton'ın Highfield semtindedir. Kent içinde de dört farklı kampüs bulunur: Beşeri bilimler yerleşkesi Avenue Kampüsü, Okyanus ve Yer bilimleri çalışmalarının yapıldığı National Oceanography Centre, Tıp ve Sağlık bilimleri eğitimlerinin verildiği Southampton General Hospital,^[5] ve üniversitenin stratejik ortağı Lloyd's Register ile Mühendislik ve Denizcilik Teknolojileri eğitimlerinin verildiği Boldrewood Kampüsü.^[6] Yanı sıra, Winchester kentinde bir Sanat Okulu ve Mühendislik eğitiminin verildiği uluslararası Malezya Kampüsü mevcuttur.^[5] Her bir kampüs kendine ait kütüphane birimlerine sahiptir.^[7]

Üniversite, 2014-15 döneminde, 16,150 lisans, ve 7,645 yükseklisans-doktora öğrencisine ev sahipliği yapmıştır.^[1] Kendisine bağlı 200 üzeri çeşitli topluluk ve 80 civarı spor dalı ile öğrenci etkinliklerin çatı kuruluşu Students' Union'dır. Ek olarak, üniversite biri ana kampüste (i.e. Jubilee Sports Centre), biri kent merkezinde (i.e. Mayflower Gym), diğeri Wide Lane civarında olan üç ana spor merkezini işletmektedir.^[8] Toplamda ise, üniversite öğrencileri kentteki 8 ayrı spor merkezinden faydalanabilmektedir.

2014'te Research Excellence Framework, üniversiteyi araştırma yoğunluğu bakımından 8. sırada ilan etmiştir. Birleşik Krallık'ta önde gelen araştırma üniversitelerinden biri olarak kabul edilen okul, eğitim ve öğretim aktiviteleri alanlarında da mütemadiyen yüksek skorlar elde etmektedir.^[9] Yanı sıra, gelirlerinin büyük çoğunluğunu araştırma çalışmalarından elde eden kurumlardan biridir.^[10][11] Üniversite, tutarlı bir şekilde dünyanın ilk 100 üniversitesi içinde derecelendirilir. 2015'te muteber ulusal ve uluslararası derecelendirme kuruluşlarına göre Birleşik Krallık'ta ilk 20'de yer almaktadır.^[12] U.S. News & World Report 2016, üniversiteyi ilk 10 Birleşik Krallık üniversitesi arasında sayar.^[13] Times Higher Education 2011-2017 yılları arasında, dünyada üniversiteyi sıralasıyla şu sırada derecelendirmiştir: 90, 127, 130, 146, 132, 110 ve 121.

Üniversite, Elektrik-Elektronik, Aerodinamik, Gemi İnşaat ve Deniz Bilimleri, İnşaat ve Makine Mühendisliği dallarında sunduğu diğer öğrenim dallarına göre en iyi derecelerine sahiptir. Örneğin, 2017 Guardians University Guide sıralamasında üniversite Birleşik Krallık içinde, Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği'nde 1., İnşaat Mühendisliği'nde 2., Aerodinamik bilimlerinde 1., ve Makina Mühendisliği'nde 8. sırada belirtilir. Yanı sıra, Times Higher Education, mühendislik bilimlerinde üniversiteyi dünyada 2014-2017 yılları için şu şekilde sıralamıştır: 75, 77, 75 ve 92; ve bilgisayar bilimlerinde 2017 yılı için 54. sırada yer vermiştir.

Üniversite, araştırma-bazlı Birleşik Krallık üniversitelerinin kurduğu Russell Group'un bir kurucu üyesidir.^[14] Ayrıca, European University Association, ile Association of Commonwealth Universities üyesi ve Worldwide Universities Network'ün akredite ettiği bir kuruluştur.

Tarihçe

Hartley Enstitüsü

Southampton Üniversitesi, 1862 yılında Henry Robinson Hartley'in (1777–1850) maddi bağışı ile kurulan Hartley Enstitüsü'ne dayanır. Hartley, başarılı iki nesil şarap tüccarı bir aileden kalan mirasın varisidir.^[15] 1850'de vefat ettiğinde, vasiyetinde Southampton'ın High Street bölgesindeki bir mülkiyetinde bilimsel çalışmalar ve öğrenimin gerçekleştirilmesi için Southampton Corporation'a £103,000 bırakır.

Hartley eccentric stragglerolarak, dönemin liman ve demiryollarından hoşlanmamaktadır.^[16] Hartley'in vasiyetindeki esas niyeti bir kolej veyahut okul kurmak değil; Southampton'daki entelektüel elit kesim için bir kültürel merkez kurulmasıdır.^[16] Vasiyetname hakkındaki uzun soluklu yasal zorluklar aşıldıktan ve vasiyetin nasıl yorumlanması gerektiği hakkında kamusal tartışmalardan sonra Southampton Corporation, birtakım kanaat önderlerinin önerdiği, daha çok sayıda insanın yararlanabileceği bir okul yerine bir enstitü inşasına karar verir.

“	...employ the interest, dividends and annual proceeds in such a manner as best promote the study and advancement of the sciences of Natural History, Astronomy, Antiquities, Classical and Oriental Literature in the town, such as by forming a Public Library, Botanic Gardens, Observatory, and collections of objects with the above sciences.[17]	”
—Bequest to the Corporation of Southampton of Henry Robertson Hartley estate.

15 Ekim 1862'de, dönemin başbakanı Lord Palmerston tarafından "ihtisamli" olarak betimlenen bir torenle acilir.^[18] Finansal zorluklarin yasandigi ilk yillardan sonra, Hartley Enstitusu 1883'te Hartley Koleji'ne evrilir. Bu gelisim, ogrenci ve ogretim uyesi sayisinin artmasini, imkan ve tesislerin genislemesini beraberinde getirir.

University College

1902'de Hartley Koleji, University of London'in bir grup unvanlarini veren Hartley University college'a evrilir. Bu donusum, University College Grants Committee'in ogrenim ve finansal konularindaki denetimlerinden ^[19] ve Council uyelerinin (or. sonradan haznedar olan William Darwin) bagislarinin ardindan gerceklesir. Sonraki senelerde yasanan ogrenci sayindaki artis, kolejin Southampton'in Highfield semtinde Back Lane (simdiki University Road) civarindaki sehirlesmemis araziye kaydirilmasi icin gereken maddi kaynaklarin saglanmasina yonelik cabalari arttirmistir.

20 Haziran 1914'te, Viscount Haldane Southampton University College yeni adıyla koleji yeni mekanında açar. Fakat, I. Dünya Savaşı'nın altı hafta sonra patlak vermesi nedeniyle, kolej yönetimi kolej binalarını askeri hastane olarak kullanılması için devreder ve dersler gerçekleştirilmez. İlaveten, merkezi binanın arka kısmına ahşap kulübeler inşa edilir. Savaş sonunda bu yapılar War Office tarafından üniversiteye bağışlanır. Aynı dönemde, Southampton Common parkına nazır bir kır evi olan Highfield Hall kız öğrenciler için yurt olarak kullanılmaya başlanır.^[20] Günümüzdeki Glen Eyre Halls Complex ise, önceki adıyla South Hill, South Stoneham House ile birlikte erkek öğrenciler için kullanılır.

1920'li ve 30'lu yıllarda üniversite şahsi bağışlar vasıtasıyla University Road'un her iki yanı boyunca genişler. Bağışçılar arasında Edward Turner Sims'in iki kızı ve Southamptonlı kimseler yer alır. II. Dünya Savaşı döneminde üniversite bina ve yurtları Southampton Blitzler esnasında hasar görür.^[21] Kolej, tahliye edilmek yerine kolejin Mühendislik Departmanı ve Navigasyon Okulu genişletilir ve koleje bir Radyo Telegraflı Muhabere Okulu kurulur.^[21] Yanı sıra, öğrenci yurtları, Leh, Fransız ve Amerikan askerlerinin konaklamasına açılır.^[21]

Bu savaşın ardından, çoğu departman Erich Zepler'in etkisi ve çabaları ile genişler ve Institute of Sound and Vibration (Ses ve Titreşim Enstitüsü) kurulur.

Üniversite

29 Nisan 1952'de Queen Elizabeth II bir Kraliyet İmtiyaznamesi ile Southampton Üniversitesi'ne diploma verebilme imkanı verir, ki hükümranlık döneminde bir eğitim kurumuna bu imkanı ilk defa bu şekilde verir.^[22] Akabinde, altı fakülte kurulur: Sanat, Bilim, Mühendislik, Ekonomi, Eğitim ve Hukuk. Dönemin Duke of Wellington'ı rektör olacak şekilde ilk diplomalar 4 Temmuz 1953'te verilir.

Sonraki birkaç on yıl boyunca Robbins Raporu'ndan ötürü öğrenci ve çalışan sayısı artar. Ayrıca, kampüs alanı da genişler. Bunun vesilesi ise Temmuz 1961'de Borough Council tarafından kampüs civarı 200 kadar evin Üniversite'ye bahşedilmesidir.^[23] Yanı sıra, Tıp ve Oşinografi dahil olmak üzere birçok fakülte ve departman kurulur (University Grants Committee yönetim kurulu başkanı Sör John Wolfenden'in bu konudaki vazgeçme çağrılarına rağmen).^[23] Öğrenci yurtları da 1960'lı ve 70'li senelerde Chilworth tımarının satın alınması ve Glen Eyre ile Montefiore komplekslerine yeni binaların inşa edilmesi sayesinde genişler.

1987'de, University Grants Committee ulusal ölçekte bütçe kesintilerinin bir parçası olarak üniversite finansmanında bir azalmaya gider.^[24] Buna mukabil subcomittee çalışan sayısında azalmaya gidilmesini önerir. Bu öneri ise kampüs içi protestolara ve nihayetinde önerinin Üniversite Senatosu tarafından reddedilmesi ile yeniden şekillendirilir.^[24]

1980'lerin ortasından 1990'lara doğru, Üniversite, Highfield yerleşkesine yeni binalar; Chilworth tımarına bilim parkı ve konferans salonu; deniz kıyısında National Oceanography Centre binası ve Kent Konseyi'nden satın alınan bugünki Avenue yerleşkesi ile Wide Lane arazileri üzerine Sanat Fakültesi ve spor alanları inşaları ile genişler.

Araştırma üniversitesi

Dönemin rektör yardımcısı Sör Howard Newby liderliğinde, Üniversite daha çok ve daha nitelikli araştırmaya yönelik çabalarını ve yatırımlarını arttırır.^[25] 1990'ların ortalarında, Üniversite'ye iki yeni yerleşke eklenir: Winchester School of Art ve La Sainte Union College. İlaveten, Hemşirelik ve Ebelik Okulu kurularak, Orta ve Güney İngiltere'de ihtiyaç olunan NHS elemanı yetiştirilmesine katkıda bulunulmaya başlanır. Bu gelişimler, öğrenci sayısında büyük bir artışa yol açar ve Basingstoke, Winchester, Portsmouth ve Newport, Isle of Wight'ta küçük yerleşkeler oluşturulur.^[25]

1997 sonbaharında, Üniversite Birleşik Krallık'ın en ağır menenjit salgınına uğrar ve üç öğrenci yaşamını kaybeder.^[26] Üniversite, mücadele için, kitlesel aşılama çalışması organize eder, ve her yeni öğrenciye aşı temini imkanı sunar.^[25]

Üniversite, 22 Ocak 2002'de ellinci kuruluş yıldönümünü (Golden Jubilee) kutlar. Bu dönemde, Üniversite'nin toplam gelirinin yarısından fazlasını araştırma gelirleri oluşturmaktadır.^[25] Bu oran, aynı zamanda, Birleşik Krallık üniversiteleri arasındaki en yüksek oranlardan biridir.^[10]

Mülki gelişime paralel, son yıllarda birçok önemli bina üniversiteye eklenmiştir: 2004'te Jubilee Sports Hall,^[27][28] 2007'de EEE (ECS, Education and Entrance) binası,^[29][30][31] 2008'de Elektronik ve Bilgisayar Bilimleri Okulu'na ev sahipliği yapan Mountbatten binası^[32][33] ve 2010'da Life Sciences binası.^[34][35][36] İlaveten, Hartley Kütüphanesi ve Student Services Centre 2005'te yeniden tasarlanmış ve genişletilmişir.^[37][38][39] 2002'de Students' Union da genişletilmiştir.^[40][41] Diğer biten inşaat ve bitim yılları ise: 2006 - Avenue Yerleşkesi'ndeki Archaeology binası,^[42][43] 2007 - Southampton General Hospital'daki Institute of Development Sciences binası.^[44]

Üniversite, The Science and Engineering South Consortium (SES-5)'a 9 Mayıs 2013'te dahil olur. The SES-5, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London ve University College London'ın kollektif buluş ve kaynaklarının buluşması için kurulmuştur. Birleşik Krallık'ın yanı sıra dünyadaki en güçlü araştırma üniversitesi işbirliği olarak yer almaktadır.^[45]

Yerleşkeler

Üniversite, dördü Southampton'da, biri Winchester'da^[46] ve biri Malezya'da olmak üzere, altı yerleşkeye sahiptir. Yanı sıra, bir bilim parkı, çeşitli büyüklük ve konumlarda öğrenci yurtları ve spor merkezlerine de sahiptir.

Highfield Yerleşkesi

Üniversitenin ana yerleşkesi Highfield semtindedir. Yerleşke, 20 Haziran 1914'te açılmıştır.

Yerleşkede, Sör Giles Gilbert Scott tarafından tasarlanan kırmızı tuğlalı binalar (ör. Hartley Kütüphanesi ve Students' Union'ın batı yüzü) bulunmaktadır.^[47] 1956'da, Sör Basil Spence yerleşkeye bir imar planı hazırlanması için görevlendirilmiştir.^[48]

This included incorporating the University Road, that split the 59-acre (23.9 ha)

campus in two and the quarry of Sir Sidney Kimber's brickyard that itself was split by a stream. Unable to remove the road and the private houses along it, Spence designed many of the buildings facing away from it, using contemporary designs working in concrete, glass and mosaic.[49] During recent decades, new buildings were added that contravened the master plan of Spence, such as the Synthetic Chemistry Building and Mountbatten Building (the latter of which was destroyed by fire in 2005).

A new masterplan for the Highfield campus was drawn up in 1998 by Rick Mather, who proposed that the University Road should become a tree-lined boulevard backed by white-rendered buildings. He also contributed some of the newer buildings such as the Zepler and Gower Buildings. In 1991, the Highfield Planning Group was formed within the university under the chairmanship of Tim Holt. This led to the development of new buildings such as the Jubilee Sports Hall, Student Services Building and the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research. In addition, existing buildings, such as the Hartley Library, were extensively renovated and extended.

Avenue Yerleşkesi

Avenue Yerleşkesi, Music bölümü dışında bütün Faculty of Humanities'e ev sahibidir. Highfield Yerleşkesine de yürüme mesafesi kadar yakındır. Yerleşke arazisi, daha evvel, Southampton Tramsheds ve Richard Taunton's College'a ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Bu dönemden kalan binalar halen kullanımdadır. Üniversite, bu mülkü, Aralık 1993'te Southampton Kent Konseyi'nden 2 milyon pounda satın alır.^[25] Bu sayede, Highfield Yerleşkesi'ndeki imara açık arsalar, araç parkı olarak kullanılabilmiştir.^[50] İlgili departmanlar, 1996'ta Avenue Yerleşkesi'ne taşınmıştır.^[51] Yerleşke, erken dönem 20. yüzyıl mimarisine ait orijinal Taunton binalarını barındırırken; 2006'da, bu binalara 2.7 milyon pound yatırım ile Arkeoloji binası eklenmiştir.^[52]

National Oceanography Centre (Ulusal Oşinografi Merkezi), Southampton

National Oceanography Centre (Ulusal Oşinografi Merkezi), Southampton (kisaltmasi NOCS), Highfield Yerleskesi'nin yaklasik uc mil guneyinde Southampton Docks'ta yer alir. Bu kampus, universitenin Okyanus ve Yer Bilimleri departmanina, National Environment Research Council'in arastirma merkezine ve Ulusal Oşinografi Merkezi'ne ev sahipligi yapmaktadir.^[53] Ulusal Oşinografi Merkezi'nin bes adet arastirma subesi bu yerleskede ikamet etmektedir.^[53]

Yerleske planlamasi 1989'da baslamis; finansal kesinti ve bir ulusal arastirma merkezinin bir universite ile entegrasyonu durumunun getirdigi belirsizlikler sebebiyle ancak 1994'te tamamlanmistir.^[54] Yerleske, 1996'da Edinburgh Duku tarafindan acilmistir. Yerleske, ayni zamanda, birtakim arastirma gemilerine de liman olmustur: RRS Discovery, RRS Charles Darwin ve Natural Environment Research Council'e ait RRS James Cook.

University Hospital Southampton (UHS - Southampton Üniversite Hastanesi)

Üniversite, NHS partnerliğinde Southampton General Hastanesi'nde 1971'den beri kendi alanına sahiptir. Faculty of Medicine ve Faculty of Health Sciences, Highfield Yerleşkesi'nde yer almalarına karşın, bu hastanede faaliyet içerisindedir. Bu vesileyle, bir öğretim hastanesi olarak pek çok lisans, ve yüksek lisans tıp öğrencisine, ve araştırmacı hekimlere hizmet vermektedir.

Winchester School of Art (Winchester Sanat Okulu)

Winchester merkezinde yer alan Winchester School of Art, Faculty of Business and Law'a bağlı sanat ve tekstil derslerinin verildiği bir öğretim birimidir.

The school itself was established in the 1960s and was integrated into the University of Southampton in 1996. The campus contains the original school buildings from the 1960s in addition to structures built when the merger occurred and in 1998 when the Textile Conservation Centre moved to the site from Hampton Court Palace. The centre remained with the school until its closure in 2009. The campus also contains a small union building run by the university's Students' Union.

Malezya Yerleşkesi

Üniversite ilk uluslararası yerleşkesini Nusajaya, Malezya'da Ekim 2012'de açmıştır.^[55][56] Yerleşkede mühendislik öğretimi yapılmakta ve öğrenciler öğrenimlerine Birleşik Krallık'a gelerek devam edebilmektedirler. Yerleşkede en güncel ekipman ve olanakların sunulduğu belirtilmektedir.^[57]

Diğer yerleşkeler

Boldrewood Yerleşkesi

Boldrewood campus, located a short distance from the Highfield campus and currently under redevelopment, will house the university's new Maritime Centre of Excellence. This new 'professional campus' will house the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute and Lloyd's Register's Group Technology Centre.^[58][59]

The campus was formerly the Biomedical Sciences campus of the university and acted, until 2010, as a non-hospital base for the School of Medicine and home to a research facility for the Biological Sciences. These departments were then relocated to either Southampton General Hospital,the new Life Sciences building at Highfield, or the University of Southampton science park.

Science Park

The University of Southampton Science Park contains approximately 50 businesses that either wish to work with the university or were established by the university itself and which use the surroundings of the park to grow. Originally established in 1983 as Chilworth Science Park, named after the manor house that is now a luxury hotel and conference centre,^[60] the park houses business incubator units to help these companies. The companies occupying the park range in expertise and fields including oil and gas exploration, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology and optoelectronics, with the businesses being particularly effective^[61] with three of the twelve successful spin-out companies created since 2000 being floated on London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) with a combined market capitalisation value of £160 million.^[62] The park was renamed in 2006.^[63] Notable companies include Merck KGaA, PrimerDesign, Karus Therapeutics and Synairgen.

Ulaşım

To connect the university's Southampton campuses, halls of residence, hospitals, and other important features of the city, the university operates the Unilink bus service for the benefit of the students, staff and the general public. Created in 1998, the service is currently operated by local bus company Bluestar using the Unilink name. The service consists of four routes. The most popular is the U1, which runs between Southampton Airport and the National Oceanography Centre via Wessex Lane Halls, Highfield campus, Portswood, Southampton City Centre and Southampton Central railway station. The other regular routes, the U2 and the U6, run between the City Centre and Bassett Green and Southampton General Hospital respectively while the final route, the U9, runs an infrequent service between Southampton General hospital and Townhill Park. Students who live in halls of residence receive an annual smart-card bus pass, allowing them to use all of the Unilink services without extra payment.

The fleet of buses was replaced in September 2013 with new Alexander Dennis Enviro400 double-decker buses on most routes.^[64][65]

Öğrenci hayatı

Students' Union

The University of Southampton Students' Union (Us.), is sited in three buildings opposite the Hartley Library. One, the West Building, dates back to the 1940s in a red brick style, complementing the Hartley Library opposite; the main building was built in the 1960s in the Basil Spence masterplan. This was extended with new nightclub and cinema facilities in 2002. The newest building was built during the mid-1990s which includes the recently refurbished union shop, on the ground floor with a hairdressers and Unilink office on the first floor.

The student union is actually separate from the University of Southampton, and is its own business. It gets funds partially from the university to finance many of its activities. The multiple award winning student radio station, Surge, broadcasts from new studios in the main union building. The award winning website^[322] unionsouthampton.org was created and run by students at the university. A brand new purpose built studio has been constructed for the TV station SUSUtv. The student newspaper is now published once every three weeks as Wessex Scene. The Edge, originally an insert of the Wessex Scene, is now an editorially independent entertainment magazine.

Events are held in The Cube, the union's nightclub. The Cube also doubles up as the on campus cinema run by Union Films. The Bridge, the union's cocktail bar, and in the Stag's Head, the union pub. National touring bands play in the Garden Court in the West Building.

Halls of Residence

The university provides accommodation for all first year students who require it and places in residences are further available for international and MSc students. Accommodation may be catered, self catered, have ensuite facilities, a sink in the room, or access to communal bathroom facilities. Each hall has a Junior Common Room (JCR) committee that is responsible for the running of social events and representing the residents to the students union and the university via the Students union JCR officer. Glen Eyre and Montefiore also have bars which are separately run by the students union and are staffed by current and ex residents.

The university's accommodation exists around two large complexes of halls and some other small halls located around the city, three of which are usually grouped into another collective entity. These are:

• Glen Eyre Complex – The complex lies less than half a mile to the north of Highfield Campus and houses approximately 2000 students. The complex consists of several building sets, designed over the years and arranged either around the central landscaped garden – the oldest buildings Richard Newitt Courts are separated into blocks A-G and are closest to the Glen Bar, students in these blocks have very small flats (between 4 and 6 to a kitchen with usually more than one bathroom), Old Terrace and New Terrace are close to the entrance, New Terrace s ensuite, Chancellors' courts, consisting of Selbourne, Jellicoe and Roll courts are the most modern of the accommodation with Brunei house, the most basic of accommodations, on the outskirts. Located across the road on the periphery of the site are Chamberlain Halls, which share most things with Glen Eyre halls – Hartley Grove, South Hill, Beechmount House. All Glen Eyre Halls are self-catered at present.
• Wessex Lane Halls – Located in Swaythling approximately one mile east of the Highfield Campus. The complex provides accommodation for over 1,800 students and currently comprises two halls of residence: Montefiore Hall, abbreviated as Monte (sub-divided into the four stages of construction), and Connaught, one of the original halls of residence of the university and sub-divided into the Old and New quads. Connaught Halls are fully catered. The complex also features South Stoneham House, a period building constructed in 1708, currently undergoing renovation and changes as a planned conference facility. The adjoining 17-storey South Stoneham tower block constructed in 1964 is undergoing major repairs.
• City Gateway Hall – Located in Swaythling one mile north east of the Highfield Campus at the intersection of two major roads. Opened in September 2015, the landmark building was included in the runners-up list of the 2015 Carbuncle Cup. Featuring a 15 story elliptical tower and two adjoining six story rectangular accommodation blocks the hall provides accommodation for up to 375 students.^{[323][324][325]}
• Mayflower Halls – Located in the city centre within the city's 'Cultural Quarter', and two-minutes walk away from Southampton Central railway station. The hall opened at the start of the 2014/2015 academic year, and houses over 1100 students in a mix of ensuite, premium ensuite rooms, as well as some self-contained studio and one bedroom flats.
• Archers Road – Lying two miles south of Highfield and housing 500 students, Archers Road compromises three halls on separate sites, grouped together for their close proximity alone. The three halls, Gateley, Romero and St. Margaret's, are all self-contained and self catered but share are reception and other community facilities.
• Bencraft Hall – Located a mile and a half north of Highfield and housing approximately 200 students, Bencraft is one of the smaller and cheaper halls of the university.
• Highfield Halls – Located adjacent to Avenue Campus and half a mile from Highfield campus. Highfield halls comprises Aubrey and Wolfe houses and both have on site catering. The site is also used as a University conference facility during the summer months when vacated.
• Shaftesbury Avenue and Gower Building – These two sites are used by mature and postgraduate students. Shaftesbury Avenue is located near Portswood and is a mile from Highfield while the Gower building is located on Highfield campus. These two are a small number of self-contained apartments, in the case of the Gower building, located above other university amenities.
• Liberty Point – Located in Central Southampton, this accommodation is not owned by the university but does provide approximately 300 accommodation spaces in partnership with the university.
• Erasmus Park – Located in Winchester, this hall houses around 400 students studying at the Winchester School of Art.

The university also has accommodation located in Balmoral House and Victoria Place, Portsmouth and in Basingstoke for the use of Nursing and Midwifery students studying on placement in these areas.

The university is in the process of replacing the former Chamberlain Hall.

Kütüphaneler

The university has libraries located on each of the academic campuses and in total the collection holds over 1.5 million books and periodicals.^[326]

The university's primary library is the Hartley Library, located on Highfield campus and first built in 1935 and extended further in 1959 and 2005.^[326] The majority of the books and periodicals are held there as well as specialist collections of works such as Ford collection of Parliamentary papers and the European Documentation Centre. In addition, the main library houses the Special Collections and Archives centre, housing more than 6 million manuscripts and a large archive of rare books.^[327] Specific collections include the correspondence of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, acquired by the university in 1983, as well as the Broadlands Archive, including the Palmerston and Mountbatten papers. The library also contains 4,500 volumes of Claude Montefiore's library on Theology and Judaism, the Ford Parliamentary Papers, Frank Perkins' collection of books on agriculture, Sir Samual Gurney-Dixons's Dante collection and the James Parkes Library of Jewish/non-Jewish relations.^[327] The library also includes six rare editions of the Divina Commedia; the first of these, the Brescia edition of 1487, is the library's earliest book.^[327]

In addition to the main Hartley Library, there are other libraries based at the university's other campuses primarily focused on the subjects studied at that location. As one of the smaller libraries and given its proximity to the Highfield campus, the Avenue Library only houses a collection of key Humanities resources.^[328] It does however also hold an extensive film library, many of an international nature.^[329] On a larger scale, the libraries at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton General Hospital, Winchester School of Art are more complete and house the majority of the resources and specialist collections on oceanography and earth sciences, healthcare and art and design respectively.^{[330][331][332]} The Malaysia campus holds a small collection of reference books but the majority of the resources needed for courses at the campus are available online.^[333] Separate from the Hartley Library is the E. J. Richards Engineering Library, which contains further materials for more in-depth study and is freely accessible to Engineering students and staff.^[334]

Arts

The university's main Highfield campus is home to three main arts venues supported and funded by the university and Arts Council England. The Nuffield Theatre opened in 1963 with construction funded by a grant from the Nuffield Foundation of £130,000 (£2,450,000 in 2013).^[335] The building was designed by Sir Basil Spence as part of his campus masterplan with additional direction provided by Sir Richard Southern.^[336] The theatre consists of a 480-seat auditorium, that also served as the principle lecture theatre at the time of construction, as well as additional lecture theatres and adjacent Kitchen bar.^[337][338]

The Turner Sims Concert Hall was added to the art provision in October 1974 following a £30,000 (£460,000 in 2012) donation from Margaret Grassam Sims in 1967.^[339] It was made to provide a venue specifically for music following difficulties in gaining space in the Nuffield Theatre and due to acoustical differences with the spaces.^[339] The new space has a single auditorium, designed by the university's Institute of Sound and Vibration Research with musical performances in mind, with a flat space at the bottom so it could be used for exams.^[339]

The final of the three Art Council supported venues on campus is the John Hansard Gallery. The gallery was opened on 22 September 1980 but is housed in a building that previously housed a tidal model of Southampton Water between 1957 and 1978.^[340] It took over responsibility from a photographic gallery, a gallery in the Nuffield Theatre and one located on Boldrewood campus.^[340] It houses various exhibitions in contemporary art and is due to move to new premises in Guildhall Square in c.2015.^[341]

These three centres are supplemented by the Special Collections Gallery, located on Level 4 of the Hartley Library and showing exhibitions from the university's archives and special collections, as well as gallery spaces located at the Winchester School of Art campus. In addition, the western half of Highfield campus contain several 20th-century sculptures by Barbara Hepworth,^[342][343] Justin Knowles, Nick Pope and John Edwards.

Sağlık hizmetleri

There are two NHS practices on the campus: The University Health Service and Highfield Health. The larger of the two practices is University Health Service, with over 15,000 patients working from Building 48 between the Physics & Maths Buildings, whilst Highfield Health is the smaller practice serving around 3,000 patients from its location on 31 University Road.

Spor imkanları

The university's Sport and Wellbeing department runs the majority of the sports facilities on campus which are based predominately at two locations: the Jubilee Sports Centre and Wide Lane Sports Ground. The Jubilee Sports Centre, opened in 2004 at a cost of £8.5 million, is located on the Highfield Campus and contains a six-lane 25-metre swimming pool, 160 workstation gym and an eight-court sports hall.^[344] Wide Lane meanwhile is located nearby in Eastleigh and was refurbished at cost of £4.3 million in 2007. The 73 -acre (29.5 ha)

complex includes flood-lit synthetic turf and grass pitches, tennis courts, a pavilion and a 'Team Southampton' Gym.[345] The university also runs facilities at the Avenue Campus, National Oceanography Centre, the Watersports Centre on the River Itchen and at Glen Eyre and Wessex Lane halls while there is another sports hall, squash courts, martial arts studio and bouldering wall located within the Students' Union.[344][345]

The university competes in numerous sports in the BUCS South East Conference (after switching from the Western Conference in 2009).^[346] A number of elite athletes are supported by the SportsRec through sports bursaries and the UK Government's Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).

The University Athletic Union was formally established on 29 November 1929, by the University College council. Versions of the union had existed previously to which many clubs such as Cricket, Association Football, Rugby, Boxing, Gymnastics, Tennis and Boat clubs (all formed before the turn of the 20th century) were members.^[347]

Mustangs Baseball Club

The Southampton Mustangs Baseball Club was founded in 1997. In the early years, the club participated in mainly friendly games against other British university baseball teams, as no formal university league was in existence. Starting in 1998, the Mustangs started to host a university baseball tournament – inviting other teams including Oxford, Cambridge, Portsmouth, Royal Holloway, and Norwich. In 2004 the Mustangs entered into the national adult baseball leagues run by the British Baseball Federation (BBF). The club entered in the lowest division, but after a few years of consolidation, the Mustangs have worked their way up from the lower leagues in the BBF to play in the top-tier league of the British baseball, the British National Baseball League (NBL), in the 2010 season.^[348]

National student championships

Throughout its history the university has had a number of successful teams in national student championships.
