About the University and Faculty of Arts & Humanities
Ranked in the global top 100 and a founding member of the Russell Group, the University of Southampton is a research-driven institution, home to some of the world’s leading minds, expanding our knowledge, and passing it on to future generations. We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse culture at the University and creating an environment where people can balance successful careers with their commitments and interests outside of work. Our flexible working practices, including a hybrid working model, support our belief that this balance brings long-lasting benefits for our institution as well as our people.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities draws together a wide range of disciplines into two high-performing schools across several locations in the cities of Southampton and Winchester. The Faculty is recognised nationally and internationally for its sector-leading research, education, knowledge exchange and enterprise which, when combined, create a unique environment for the successful development of more than 2,500 undergraduates.
The School of Humanities is passionate about investigating what makes us human, from literature, language and music, to history, film and philosophical debate. Their research and education spans many disciplines, most of which are ranked in the top 10 across British universities.
The Faculty Operating Service (FOS) works in partnership with the academic community, other professional services and the wider University to support Faculties across the triple helix of education, research and enterprise to achieve ground-breaking research and deliver an outstanding student experience. The FOS team is the integral and embedded professional service directly involved in running and maintaining the Faculty and is key to driving continual improvements and ensuring best practice.
