Campus Locations

Portsmouth Campus

Portsmouth Campus

Portsmouth’s campus is woven into the heart of the city, where learning spaces, the library, sports facilities and halls sit alongside shops, bars, restaurants, cafés and venues like the Victorian New Theatre Royal and Grade II listed Guildhall. It’s always buzzing, yet beaches, green spaces and sea views are only a short walk away.

The campus is evolving too – from advanced facilities such as the Future Technology Centre and Motion Capture Studios to the sustainable Ravelin Sports Centre set in a community orchard. A £250 million masterplan means new experiences and possibilities will continue to develop throughout your studies.

Transport links are excellent, with central London reachable in 90 minutes and ferries to France and Spain, plus Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports all within reach. Free campus bus services make getting to your lectures easy and cost-free.
