The University of Southampton is a world-class university, located on the outskirts of Southampton in Hampshire.

Built around the docks, located in the heart of the south coast and just an hour outside of London, Southampton really is a great place to live and work. It is located to the east of the New Forest, is the gateway to the Isle of Wight and to the west of the South Downs.

The University of Southampton Students’ Union (SUSU) is the representative body for all of the 23,000 students who study at the University of Southampton.

Our commercial operations provide important services to our members and generate valuable funds to allow the Union to fulfill its purpose. Trading turnover is more than £4m pa, so is a significant part of our activity. The range is also substantial – with 10 bars (including our own nightclub), a large shop, a cinema, 3 catering outlets and a range of tenants, including a hairdressing salon.
