I did not get the expected grades and now I only have University of Southampton on my list. Any advice how it will go for me?

Final decision is always going to be yours, however, this is what I would like to take into your consideration,
1. Since, you don't have any other choice except that to go to Soutahmpton this year and until unless you don't want to take a Gap Year and try to improve your marks, then go to Southampton.
2. I assume that you are referring to the course called Mathematics with Actuarial Studies. Somebody once told me that this course doesn't allow you to get up to all 9 Series 100 Exemptions from IOA. I don't know much about this issue, but if it is the case then may be you have to give going to Southampton another thought.
3. If you still wants to go to Southampton, then just go ahead and work more hard next yr and try to get atleast 21 if not 11, and perhaps to get somekind of Actuarial Work Experience too (after your First Yr). This together with Further Work Experience after second yr would undoubtedly improve your job prospects and you may land job at top tier actuarial firm / consultancy.
Good Luck and if you still want more info./guidance, pls dont afraid to post your query.
