University of Portsmouth

I study psychology at Portsmouth and it is an amazing course and the lecturers provide all the help you need. It has a city campus meaning that you can pop into town any time you would like and still make it to lectures. The nightlife is particularly great especially Fridays at Astoria! Freshers week is also unreal! Best part of first year. Everyone is so welcoming you will feel right at home!

In comparison to other universities, UoP posses greater resources and provide much more needed support. There are an extensive amount of teachers to help from coursework to exam prep to checking in our mental health. UoP have a careers and recruitment building as well as an online platform. You would be able to find a plethora of paid and voluntary job opportunities to partake in, that will really make you learn C.V standout.

A good place to lwarb with a lot of things to do in the city but does get quite boring after a while. Great uni experience in this city. Nightlife is good and quite wild.

It has been an overall good experience at the University of Portsmouth. They help you a lot in the beginning to get into the routine. In the first year they teach you very good bases for the following years. Most lectures give great lectures and they really care about you.

The university is ok for social and being with friends, however without the students Portsmouth is very boring, residents say the students is what creates Portsmouth. Studying is great, the teachers are very supportive and give us what we need.

The campus of the university of Portsmouth is great as everything is local, student life is great however I feel that the student union or university should encourage more events for students like the freshers fair that we had at the start of the year!

Good facilities and access to material needed for studies. A large majority of the teachers are very helpful, the support is there if you need it and there are a lot of social things happening.

All of my course staff are really friendly and helpful. There are a lot of measures in place to help when you are struggling, for example ASDAC and the well-being service. My one issue is the student union- a lot of my friends unis have club in their unions, which would be my only issue. All of the buildings are relatively central which is good as if you have gaps you can easily fill your time

When coming straight into university from sixth form i knew it would be independent studying but i didnt expect it to be this independent. I do think it is a beneficial experience but i think that lecturers could be more willing to help students. Also, some units have illogical deadlines which dont benefit students which i think the university should readdress

I've been there for about almost 4 months now and I genuinely mean this; I can't imagine myself anywhere eise. All the lecturers are lovely and super helpful and are down to answer any questions and concerns we may have.

The student union is really good and the university is good and the career services, offer a lot of support. The university is located in a very good location in the centre of Portsmouth with Gunwharf Quays and cascades shopping centre within walking distance.

The course (criminology and criminal justice) and the staff members makes the university. there are facilities to aid learning but they can be better. I felt that we dont have enough externa experience to incorporate after uni and i feel that university should arrange excursions for students to improve learning

The university has an inclusive policy where all students receive the help that they need. They have a specific office related to careers advice and are always happy to assist

Portsmouth is generally a nice area. They are building a lot more student halls so more first year students are able to secure accommodation with the university. There are lots of restaurants all around Southsea. However, there aren't as many things to do and clubbing is only fun for so long. The library is also very small (only two floors!) and gets filled up very quickly. Don't even bother trying to get a space during exam period if you plan on getting there past midday. I really enjoy the course I'm doing (pharmacy) as it focus a lot on the clinical and practical sides of it. They also prepare the students for OSCEs and the pre-registration exam from day one and I know that some universities don't start doing this until third year. Overall it's a good uni, I just wish the library was bigger and there were more activities to do.

Portsmouth University is great for those wanting plenty of opportunity to socialise and meet people, with a great selection of societies to choose from, as well as the shared student accommodation, it provides plenty of chances to meet people outside of your course. There's also a great student union uni bar to meet up and chill, without having to break the bank on Portsmouth prices. The Career service is known as Purple Door, and is a great place to hear about career opportunities, and they're happy to have one to one meetings, as well as through emails. Even after graduating you will still receive emails with opportunities from them. I would say a negative would be the accommodation, some being more outdated than others, as well as some being much further away from the actual University buildings, it can be a bit annoying on nights out.

The university is slightly spread out but not so much that you can't get from one place to another quickly, useful for when you have a practical straight after a lecture. There's a lot of different places to work, each with a unique vibe sk yiu can always find that perfect spot where you can get work done. Near the university, there are a few pubs meaning cheap lunch and dinners and a lot of cafes around the place.

The lectures and lecturers are interesting. Easy to get private accommodation which is affordable. Great nightlife and great city in general

The campus is all situated in the centre of the city so it's easily accessible by any mode of transportation, as well as being near student hubs and food and drink areas after long lectures! The buildings aren't too far apart from eachother so you won't have to worry about being late too late to you're next lecture/seminar if you're running a bit late.

Great facilities, especially the university library which is a great place to revise. University student accommodations are all really good, the old ones get refurbished often and the new ones are really modern and nice. Sports facilities are great all the pitches you need. Out of all the societies there is definitely one for everyone. From quidditch to football to dodgeball to paintball! All sorts that are all really fun and are guaranteed to make you friends. Bus services run regularly and are free as long as you show your student card which is great to get around. The area of Portsmouth is great with lots of shops from high street in cascades and designer in gunwharf. The beach is a great place to hang out and the common by the sea is a great place to hang out in the summer.

Business facilities are excellent. High quality teaching all round. Lectures are the perfect length and timetables are easy to keep to. The food on campus is quite expensive recommend bringing your own. Student union waterhole is a great place to hang out with quiz's hosted every Sunday! Great place to socialise and pre drink on a Wednesday afternoon!

Well organised and puts on lots of events for freshers! The library is great if not a little busy, which makes it hard to find seats at peak times. It is however open 24h for students pulling all nighters!

Too much independent solo student work on their own time. No supervision. Feedback is available but why not have actual timetabled sessions for it? International student communities are weak. Political correctness culture is obvious but not talked about. Is three years too short for some? Career services could be broader have broader services. Halls are too expensive and easy to break and too many rules. Sport facilities feel exclusive Freshers week could have sports events and activities, social opportunities, instead of getting money for advertising businesses only. Thanks.

Portsmouth uni is a really nice place to choose, the teachers are very friendly and supportive and help u with ur studies a lot.

Overall an enjoyable experience at uni. However some of the buildings are not great to have lectures and seminars in as they are not properly equipped for certain courses.
