First choice I’ve just started my final year at the University and I can safely say it was 100% the right choice for me. The support from the lecturers is brilliant, the facilities are amazing and the variety of services that are available for students to access is excellent. If I have ever had a problem there was always a service that the university offers that could help me. If I had to choose a university again Portsmouth would still be my first choice.

Exchange Programme I had an excellent experience at the University of Portsmouth. I was part of an exchange programme and got to stay 6 months in this university. I would gladly recommend their school of applied languages to anyone interested in that field.

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.

I study pharmacy at Portsmouth. I study pharmacy at Portsmouth. The course content throughout the 4 years is great but it requires more organisation and equal balancing of the content by the staff. The university has great teachers, very friendly and helpful, who are willing to help during lectures but also after the class. The faculty has good facilities and materials needed for studies. It's a city university but more feels like a campus based because most university buildings are few minutes away from one and another, it is easier to walk in between lectures. The library is open 24 hours so you can study at any time you like. So far its been a great experience :)

Criminology and Forensic Studies Student My experience at the University of Portsmouth has been more than I imagine in many different aspects. My course is both practical and coursework base, allowing me to broaden many skills I never had before coming here. You can also participate in one-to-one tutor meetings to discuss your progress and if you need extra help with your studies. The university also has strong connections with different companies and partnerships if you want a work placement or study abroad year. In my first year, I lived in Chaucer House in an en-suite room. In my second year, I moved into a house and finally a flat both 10 mins away from the uni. The University campus is within a 15 to 20min walking distance range, so transport in Portsmouth is not a problem because you can walk everywhere. The student union has over 150 societies, all ranging from sports, cultural and course-focused ones. There’s plenty to choose from!
