University of Portsmouth

My course which is criminology and criminal justice has a lot of support from transitioning from college to university, especially with the work load. The Academic skills unit (ask) has especially help me but is open to all students at the university and provides one-to-one tutorials in academic writing, note making, time management, critical thinking, presentation skills, referencing, working in groups, revision, memory and exam techniques. Some students face multiple challenges, particularly in the period of transition from school, college or adult life and an early referral to ASK can help retain and support students until they find their feet.

The campus is amazing. They provide a great career services and the teachers are more interactive and make the subject more interesting which helps us learn them easily. I am doing software engineering and I love the fact that they have great facilities with latest technology.. The student union always helps us and supports us. The whole organization is amazing and they keep everything well organized. I just like everything aboit the university. It has got everything in walkable distance.

The University of Portsmouth is very underrated, it has very up to date facilities and campus. There is a wide range of courses offered, which suit every need and so far have been very enjoyable.

Modern courses and facilities. Excellent student support and teaching is great! The student accommodation is pricey but well worth the quality (of the newer halls), although not a campus Uni, everything is within walking distance.

Portsmouth Uni had truly been an amazing experience. Everything is in close by, there is so much to do and so much fun to be had. There are endless amounts of facilities perfect for every students needs. If you want to do rock climbing or scuba diving there is a student society just for you. The halls are all so close to the buildings and the security of the Uni is always exceptional.

I did my undergraduate at Portsmouth and am now doing my masters here as well as I love the university so much. Every facility is to the highest standard from Work spaces to mental health clinics. I am thoroughly happy at the university of Portsmouth and would recommend the university to anyone.

The photography course is great, so many great facilities and an amazing support system to ensure you get the best out of your degree!

The university as a whole is a very welcoming community and easier to navigate round. The student union is a warm, friendly environment and cheap drinks! After joining two weeks late, due to transferring unis, the Pharmacy course leader and academics were very helpful and welcoming.

I really enjoy the course i'm on and the lecturers make it interesting and engaging. I can't wait to see what else learn over the next few years

Overall the university is a top notch university choice. With a wide range of facilities and support that cover a wide range of subjects, the library is extensive and large with a large amount of computers and the media department have a varied and up to date ranger of technologies available. The society's program is extensive meaning people of any interests can find like minded people and the halls experiance instilled themes of comradary and real student experiance. The surrounding area itself is beautiful and has a wide array of food and club locations so it's pretty difficult to get bored!

FAB uni with degree solid course and student union. Well being service is great as well and the student finance team always has you and helps you out when it can ect everyone is being taken care of Portsmouth has catered for everything students need. The student services are amazing they are very prompt and helpful Good uni everything close together and provides good opportunities for peoples

UoP supported a whole range of avenues throughout the course, including the assistance and guidance of creating and running a business throughout a placement year. The nightlife at the UoP is also top notch, and shouldn't be missed out on.

I'm in my 2nd year here at UoP, doing Journalism. I believe the course layout has changed for this year's (2018) undergrads, so I will be doing this based on the course layout for my year. The course is really good! Considering how it is NCTJ accredited, it's a really good uni and course to choose if you are thinking of becoming a journalist in the future. This is if you do the course on it's own and not as combined. From what I know, shorthand is only being offered to single honours students during 2nd year from this year onwards. Anyways, the lecturers are amazing and really get to you know you and your style so gives the best feedback. I rarely go to the union, but the sabbatical officers have always been great - they really do care for the students and the university. Facilities-wise... The university library is honestly the best place to go if you want to get focused and study. Books are available most of the time or if the physical copy isn't there, there will most likely be an ebook available. I don't use the university sports facilities so I can't really say much about them. But the gym membership is great, and the gyms have all the equipment a gym-enthusiast would need. My overall experience, I'm really enjoying my time here. It's not difficult to find out your 'crowd'. You make friends all the time. Like seriously, freshers week is not the only time you can make friends. Settling in wasn't that difficult for me too. But then again, that's just the person I am since I'm used to being away from home and I came from a busy city. I have friends who came from small towns and have settled in nicely, and I also have friends who came from very small towns and they really found it difficult to settle in a bigger, busier place. If you're thinking of this university, I think it's really great! But obviously, there are a lot of factors to consider. Such as, how good is the course and the lecturers? How/ Can I cope in a bigger/smaller city? What do I want to achieve in this uni? Literally just the overall question 'is this university for me?'

Not really sure what to write to be honest, I just wanted the free tastecard. Good University with great facilities and nice local area

the facilities at Portsmouth University are really good. The university buildings are really close to each other which is very convenient for the students. The student union is very useful as it provides all the information the students need including where to find each building, all the facilities available and if you have any problems.

I love it here at the university of Portsmouth, all staff are very helpful and so I’ve heard that is collective over all the courses. Facilities are great, events are even better they go all out

Portsmouth has a lot to offer and has pretty brilliant student union, they organise some great activities and nights out, as well as serious stuff, like careers fairs, that are actually really helpful.

University offers extremely helpful lectures and seminars, the tutors really care about the education of their students as well as their wellbeing. Always supportive and care about how well you’re getting on with the course.

The uni has it's flaws, but stands out in other areas. The support system and lectures are amazing. Overall, a supringsingly amazing university.

Great university with supportive staff and a great community feel. They have a good focus on employment following university, and some good facilities, with a supportive union, but some parts are outdated.

An excellent university, supports its students and enriches learning to give experience to students. Quality Teachers who care and always have a great outlook

Portsmouth University is a fantastic school, I study law there and partake in the drama and rugby societies. Everything there is excellent and caters fantasticly to the student. The law school offers great opportunity to both study academically and practically perform doing moots mock trials and jury speeches. There's a great safe atmosphere all around the city and I'm always happy that I go there. The common is excellent in the summer and has a great communal atmosphere with both students and locals sharing the space a doing bbqs playing sport and just having a good time. The University of Portsmouth is the best decision I ever made.

I am studying pharmacy and we have some brilliant teaching staff and facilities. I absolutely live studying here. Pharmacy facilities include a simulation centre and a dispensary. We often have patient actors to counsel and practice our skills with. The campus is very close together and is minutes from the city centre.

The campus was in a great location, near the beach and town centre. The student union is so much fun especially the shred event run by coca cola. The health and well being centre helped me a lot throughout my time at university.
