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.

I've just finished my first year of study at UoP... I've just finished my first year of study at UoP and, despite the difficulties of the pandemic, have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Online lectures and seminars have been engaging and tutors are always available to support with tricky materials or discuss coursework queries. The city-campus style of the uni means that I get to explore the beautiful city on my way to lecture buildings, and the testing facilities have allowed me to feel safe going back to face-to-face teaching. Overall, a brilliant experience so far and I cannot wait to start my studies again in October!

Great year despite covid I am now going in to my second year at uni of Portsmouth and I really can’t wait to get started. Given the circumstances of last year with covid, my lecturers did everything they could to give us the best experience and help possible. We even managed to get a lot of face to face teaching and lab work which was a lot more than other people could get. The university RESLIFE team are also brilliant, when I had issues within my flat, reslife helped to resolve and sort them straight away. I had a great first year and I’m sure it’ll only get better.

I am just starting my 2nd year at the… I am just starting my 2nd year at the University of Portsmouth and I have been super impressed with how they handled the 1st year during the pandemic. I was apprehensive about starting and worried about the level of support I would receive whilst studying from home. However, I did not need to worry at all, all of the tutors and lecturers I encountered were super helpful at all times and pointed me in the right direction of specialist help when I needed it. All support resources were fab and whilst working as a key worker part time along-side university, the university were really accommodating with deadlines and any extra help I would need. I'm so excited to start back fully next week and continue my Portsmouth adventure

Supportive and enriching experience at Portsmouth I am a Sociology and Criminology student going into my third year at the University of Portsmouth. There is a sense of belonging at Portsmouth and I have been provided with so many opportunities to grow as an individual and realise my potential. I love that the lecturers on my course are welcoming and passionate about their fields of study. They have always reassured me if I am ever unsure about anything regarding the module topics and provide extensive feedback to help me progress. Beyond academic skills, I have also developed employability skills as the university has supported me in finding several career-focused volunteer work. Particularly, the University of Portsmouth has been exceptional in responding to the unprecedented situation that the global pandemic has caused. There has been so much support and advice on looking after your mental health. Staff have been so caring and have provided me with support to engage in wellbeing workshops in a relaxed, comfortable environment to develop coping techniques. Overall my experience at the university has been amazing and you are never on your own if you have any concerns. I am so glad I chose Portsmouth and that I am part of the close-knit community.
