To enable us to fulfil the commitments set out within our Civic Charter, we work with a range of local community partners across Southampton and the Central South region. Through these collaborations we combine our knowledge and expertise with that of the local community, generating innovative solutions that drive knowledge exchange and mutual benefits. You can discover more about some of these partnerships on this page.
ABP Southampton Marathon: Solent's BSc Sport and Exercise Therapy students provide complimentary sports massages to participants of the ABP Southampton Marathon races. Students gain practical real-world experience that contributes towards their final qualification, while providing runners with a welcome relief at the end of their run.
Hampshire Constabulary: Our student and staff community work closely with colleagues at Hampshire Constabulary to raise awareness of important safety campaigns and deliver simulated briefs, while also promoting employment opportunities across the force.
MAST Mayflower Studios: Located across East Park, MAST is Southampton’s multi-art cultural hub. As well as collaborating with our BA (Hons) Acting and Performance course, our collaboration raises awareness of employment opportunities across the performance industry.
