02 Harnessing AI for space archaeology
During her PhD, Dr Iris Kramer (PhD Computer Science,2021) developed revolutionary software that uses AI todetect hidden archaeological sites from satellite imagery. Iris
commercialised this technology, founding start-up
company ArchAI, which has attracted funding from the UK
Space Agency.

To find out how Iris developed her enterprising skills at
Southampton, see page 16.

03 Exploring new energy solutionsFirst-year PhD student Yiliao Zhou is investigating thepotential of floating photovoltaics for meeting the growing
energy demands of Bangladesh.
“Photovoltaics, which convert light into electricity, arebecoming much more affordable thanks to rapid
advancements in technology. However, many south Asian
countries with high population densities find it difficult todevelop the infrastructure because of the huge area of land
required,” says Yiliao.
“I’m investigating whether floating photovoltaics – solar
panels that float on large bodies of water such as lakes –could be the solution.”01

Jacob Kleboe (PhD Chemistry, first year) and Hiroki Cook
(PhD Chemistry, third year) are part of the Molecular
Biophotonics group at Southampton and a large
interdisciplinary research consortium. They are developing
new ways to diagnose medical conditions with technologies
being used in space exploration.
“In our research we use an optical technique called Raman
spectroscopy, also used by the latest NASA Mars Rover tosearch for alien life,” says Jacob.
“This work has the potential to reduce the number of future
hip fractures, improving health outcomes for millions ofpeople,” adds Hiroki.

Jacob Kleboe and Hiroki Cook designed and built amodel rover to demonstrate the technology

01 Protecting whale sharks
Freya Womersley (PhD Ocean and Earth Sciences, fourth
year) led an international study showing that industrialised
shipping may be causing the global decline in whale shark
numbers. Through her research, Freya aims to steer
legislation towards protecting this endangered species.

It may come as a surprise that the shipping
industry, which allows us to source a variety of
everyday products from all over the world, may becausing the decline of a hugely important species
in our oceans. Collectively we need to develop
strategies to protect this endangered species fromindustrialised shipping now, before it is too late.”

Terms of use

This prospectus does not constitute an offer or
invitation by the University of Southampton to study atSouthampton. It provides an overview of the University
and life at Southampton, along with information about
all the postgraduate programmes available at the timeof publication. This is provided for information
purposes only. Applications made to the University
should be made based on the latest programme
information made available by the University. Relevant
weblinks are shown throughout. Please also consult the
programme information online for further details or for
any changes that have appeared since first publicationof the prospectus.
The information contained in the prospectus, welcome
guides or on our websites is subject to change and may
be updated by the University from time to time toreflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing
requirements of professional bodies and changes toacademic staff members, their interests or expertise.
Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring andreview by the University, external agencies or regulators.

Programme Validation

Validation is the process by which the University
approves its programmes of study. Any taught
postgraduate programme leading to a University ofSouthampton award, including research degrees
with a taught component are required to go throughProgramme Validation. The full validation process canbe found in the University’s Quality Handbook:www.southampton.ac.uk/quality

1. Change or discontinuanceof programmes

The University of Southampton will use all reasonable
efforts to deliver advertised programmes and otherservices and facilities in accordance with the descriptions
set out in the prospectuses, student handbooks,
welcome guides and website. It will provide students
with the tuition and learning support and other services
and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill.
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes,
services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement.
We are largely funded through public and charitablemeans and are required to manage these funds in an
efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of thewhole of the University community. We therefore,
reserve the right where necessary to:– alter the timetable, location, number of classes,
content or method of delivery of programmes ofstudy and/or examination processes, provided suchalterations are reasonable;– make reasonable variations to the content andsyllabus of programmes of study (including in relation
to placements);– suspend or discontinue programmes of study (forexample, because a key member of staff is unwell or
leaves the University);– make changes to our statutes, ordinances, regulations,policies and procedures which we reasonably consider
necessary (for example, in the light of changes in thelaw or the requirements of the University’s regulators).
Such changes if significant will normally come into force
at the beginning of the following academic year or, if
fundamental to the programme, will normally comeinto force with effect from the next cohort of students;– close programmes of study or to combine or merge
them with others (for example, because too few
students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).
However, any revision will be balanced against therequirement that students should receive theeducational service expected. The University’s
procedures for dealing with programme changes andclosures can be found in our Quality Handbook at
www.southampton.ac.uk/quality

If the University closes, discontinues or combines a
programme of study or otherwise changes a programmeof study significantly (the ‘Change’), the University will
inform applicants (or students where relevant) affectedby the Change at the earliest possible opportunity.
a. If the Change comes into force before the University
has made an offer of a place or before an applicant
has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will beentitled to withdraw his or her application, without
any liability to the University, by informing the
University in writing within a reasonable time ofbeing notified of the Change.
b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has
been accepted but prior to the student enrolling,
the student may either:i) withdraw from the University and be given an
appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, orii) transfer to another available programme (if any)
as may be offered by the University for which thestudent is qualified.
If in these circumstances the student wishes towithdraw from the University and to apply for a
programme at a different university, the University shalluse its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.
c. If the Change comes into force after a student
has enrolled, the University will use reasonableendeavours to teach the programme out but cannot
guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out
a programme of study, it will use its reasonableendeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student toan equivalent programme for which the student isqualified and which has places available within the
University or at a different university. Any revision will
be balanced against the requirement that students
should receive the educational service expected.
All changes will be managed in line with our Student
Protection Plan.

2. Changes to services or facilities

The University will make available to students suchlearning support and other services and facilities as it
considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides
from time to time (for example, the University may
consider it desirable to change the way it provides
library or IT support).

3. Financial or other losses

The University will not be held liable for any direct
or indirect financial or other losses or damage arisingfrom such closures, discontinuations, changes to or
mergers of any programme of study, service or facility.
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a placeat the University, and at enrolment, the relationshipbetween the applicant and the University becomes
contractual. When the contract is formed between thestudent and the University it will last until the student
withdraws from the programme or the programme isterminated.
Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a
programme of study under the provisions set out inparagraph 1b. above following a Change are in addition to
any statutory rights of cancellation that may exist under
the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and
Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering intothat contract, the terms of the contract will not be
enforceable by any person not a party to that contract
under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Force majeure

The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or
expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure to
perform or delay in performance in the provision ofprogrammes of study, services or facilities arising fromcircumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control,
including but not limited to adverse weather conditions,interruption or failure of utility services, electricity, gas orwater or telecommunications, strikes, lockouts or otherindustrial dispute or action, boycott, war or threat of war,riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or threat of terrorist
activity, fire, explosion, flood, earthquake, subsidence,
epidemic or pandemic, or other natural or nuclear disaster,
impossibility of use of the railways, shipping, aircraft, motortransport or other means of private or public transport. In
the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable
control of the University arise, the University will use allreasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it ispractical to do so provided that such endeavours do notundermine the University’s Quality Assurance
requirements.
