Successful Communication

History:

• We were one of the first universities in the world to have a department of electronics (founded 1947).
• We were a pioneer in supporting start-up businesses grown from the university (we have created more spin-out companies than almost any other UK university, including the largest ever successful university spin-out: Southampton Photonics).
• We were one of the first universities to embrace digital resources, and create online-only courses accessible from around the world.

• We are a pioneer of using university research to successfully inform UK government policy.

• We are a pioneer in supporting a global academic environment with the creation of our Malaysian campus.
