International Relations Student About to go into my 3rd and final year at UoP. As an international student I was nervous about attending uni in a whole new country but I can say that I have had a good experience at UoP. There is a lot of support for international students, and the vast majority of staff and students are extremely welcoming. My course has been interesting, yet challenging. Doing second year online didn't really help but I still felt like I had a good level of support and communication from the university, which was great.

First year overview University of Portsmouth has been an extraordinary experience so far. Moving abroad may seam scary at first, however there is no need to worry in this case. Each member of the staff has been extremely accommodating and invested within making you feel accepted and welcomed. The university itself provides 1st year students with secured place in the halls of your choice. If you need to self-isolate food parcels will be provided to you. There is also a wide range of part-time jobs opportunities if you wish to work alongside your studies. University even has a career centrum to help you with this process. What I do appreciate probably the most is always having somebody qualified to talk to as well as being supported even five years after my studies end.

Supportive University I started at the University of Portsmouth during Covid and the support they gave me was amazing! They were always on hand to discuss any issues I had throughout the pandemic and provide support in terms of deadlines, mental health, and isolation. I study film production which meant it was very hard to have the hands on approach I had hoped for. However, when we were allowed back in person there were lots of sessions and the tutors really helped me to catch up on what I had missed.

Third year student! I am not going into my third year at the university of Portsmouth and so far it has been great! I study criminology with psychology and the modules are really interesting and insightful! The university is really beneficial in terms of its careers services they provide. I am very excited to start my third year here and gain many more opportunities with the university.

Awful Learning Experience As a mature student studying a degree in Virtual and Augmented Reality, who has just completed his 3rd year at Portsmouth University. I have to say I have had an awful experience. From studying online in the first year and being charged full tuition fees, to having my student support cancelled in the 3rd year. I can with my hand on my heart say I have had an awful education there. Think twice before you enroll.
