Ports

Amazing! I would recommend it to anyone, especially those who are outside of Portsmouth. It's an amazing city with good teachers. I love my course - I'm currently studying construction management and I love everything about it. It comes with great challenges, and personally, I love taking on challenges and exploring new ways and ideas. Love it overall.

excellent uni experience, catherine house is the best and business is the best course. lol business management, business ops is the best subject. portsmouth is the best location, by the beach gunwarf quays and the town centre.
catherine house is the best place to stay may be more but best quality. don't go to margret or greath

Portsmouth

(5)·By Reuben M·Chemical / Process / Energy· Jun 2023
The university of Portsmouth is the best uni.
Because the island of Portmouth is so compacted it feels like a large town, it is very homely and you can walk from one end to the other in under an hour. The facilities are very good, with lots of labs and lecture theatres. The accomodation is good value and is close to the lecture buildings.

I commenced my course in September after going through clearing, and have to say that the support from being offered a place to starting the course has been amazing . The course itself is exactly what I was after with complete Face to Face lectures. Support from lecturers and tutors have been amazing . Have met so many new friends . Accommodation is good and central to everything. Although this was not my initial choice so happy that I ended up at the university can not fault it at all.

University set me up for who I am today!

(5)·By Jordan R·Psychology· Jun 2023
When I first went to Uni I didn't feel ready to move out or even get out of my comfort zone (so I ended up staying at the Uni in my hometown). Within a couple of months I had met some really amazing friends and started pushing myself more to do things I'd have been scared to do previously. I ended up moving out for second year with 6 of my friends, joined cheer leading, and went to regular super fun social events, which are memories I truly will keep with me for life.

I also ended up regularly going down to the Uni halls first year as I made friends from my tutor who lived here. It really brought up my confiendence as I was mixing with so many people who were in a similar boat to me and were wanting to make new friends and just have a good time! And then moving out for second year is what I thank now for the reason I am very happy to be independent, so much so that I now have my own place, which I really don't think would be the case yet if I'd never had the experiences I did at Uni.

But it wasn't just the social side that I loved, lectures were also really interesting too, so much so that I went on to do a Master's in Business and Management because I enjoyed how Uni made me feel motivated and gave me something to focus on. Unfortunately Covid hit during my second year at Uni and it did change the way things were taught, but I almost appreciated this because it led to lectures being pre-recorded so you could go back and go over them in your own time, whereas before, if you missed the lecture you pretty much missed that content.

Having these degrees then helped to get me a load of job interviews and job offers when I left Uni, and I am now really happily working in HR for the Council.

Going through University really has made me feel proud of the person I have become today, as it is not easy but it is something that I would never regret due to the amazing experiences I've had along the way and friends I have made for life.

I would recommend University to anyone, and all I would say if you are considering going is don't be afraid to push yourself and go outside your comfort zone, University is the perfect time to do this and you will have so many people around you to support you along the way!
