Get into Media at Southampton University
SurgeFM is the University of Southampton’s student radio station. Broadcasting since 1976, originally as a pirate radio station operating from the F-Block of Glen Eyre halls. Surge has since gone on to win multiple Student Radio Awards. Most recently we hosted our 50th anniversary fundraiser, with alumni from LBC, RadioX and BPI. Surge provides a pathway for students at Southampton to persue a career in media.
