There is no dress code for the Taster Course, though you are expected to dress respectably. We recommend comfortable shoes and clothing as you will be walking between halls and the campus, and during various activities.
Attendees are welcome to bring mobile phones for use during the course, though they are not mandatory. We will share information on our course-specific, private, social media offerings closer to the start of the course. An introductory lecture on Monday will cover mobile phone etiquette, and we ask all attendees using mobile phones to do so respectfully during lectures and other activities. You may wish to bring a laptop, though again it is not mandatory. Wi-Fi access is available across the campus and halls of residence. Access details will be provided at registration.
Food and drink is provided for the week. However, we find that attendees often wish to buy a few other things - whether it's a coffee from a shop on campus, or some snacks from the local shops. Highfield Campus is a cashless campus so although there shouldn’t be the need to spend anything, shops and vending machines will only accept card payments. Therefore, we suggest bringing a small amount of money (approx. £30) on card, though we would not expect you to use all of this.
Please note that the University of Southampton cannot take responsibility for any lost or stolen items.
