* In X4, the higher grade (the latter grade) only applies to the following schools/departments for 2025 entry:

These requirements represent the standard entry criteria for our programmes. All applications are considered on the basis of the full submission, and so strong scores in relevant subjects, suitability of course studied will also be taken into consideration.

This represents the standard entry requirements for Southampton courses. It does not preclude specific requirements for example where contractual admissions agreements '4+1' and similar exist.

Our teaching and research activities are delivered across five faculties, each of which hosts several subject-specific schools and departments. For details on faculty structure, please visit www.southampton.ac.uk/about/faculties-schools-departments
