University of Portsmouth

The content of the course if is great but the organisation by the staff is lacking! The campus is spread out which coming from a different university which was one campus felt like there was less of a community feel.

campus is good. everything is close by so as freshers you can walk everywhere. the same goes for sport facilities and the libary. the union is good as its cheap and is often busy wednesdays for society nights but its a shame that its not like other uni's where its a big club and everyone goes there every week.

The library needs more computers but has the right software at all times relevant to course. The lecturers are really approachable and course not too hard

Offsite facilities good at alton campus where I studied basic college facilities and cafeteria area with new built engineering block course structure very disorganised and almost questionable as to why you are paying such high fees

Whilst I had several issues with the university, the technology and resources were of high standard. Not the best but not the worst.

The univeristy is all right with decent facilities and learning areas. However not enough faculty and not enough investment on lectures and actual course content.

It is a fast growing and rising university in the rankings. This comes with both good and bad points. The uni is expanding rapidly and investing a lot in new buildings and facilities but not enough really. areas such as the library are horribly crowded especially at the end of the year. Also some more traditional courses (e.g. history, geography) are sort of pushed to the side while more digital and computers courses are given brand new and expensive facilities.

As an illustration student, I spend most of my time in the Eldon building which has great computer rooms, print rooms and everything I need! The major downfall in my course though is the lack of actual lessons and contact time, I could get through a whole week and only see a teacher for half an hour .. it’s disgraceful.

Poorly organised course, lots of cancellations, last minute changes, big changes in teaching for the same unit, little help when needed. Changes to supervisors late in year. Supervisors not invested as were too busy with their own jobs.

The facilities are improving but still not to a high standard. Official student halls are limited and the private halls to use otherwise are incredibly expensive.

Overall campus and facilities are good. Experience has been good with the only improvement being support for students going abroad in previous ye

‘‘Twas okay but my course had some issues with organisation and there was not enough contact time considering the amount you’re paying for tuition fees. Some lecturers were great others didn’t even turn up half the time. The student housing was expensive. But the library was great lol

Most halls are in the center of Portsmouth, where the university campus is also located. This is very convenient. The university is otherwise disorganised and Portsmouth is more expensive than London

Good social side of the uni. Academically lacking strength. Not the nicest if cities. Only good for going out basically

The university of Portsmouth overall is a good university. It is what could be considered an up and coming university. However there are some fundamental problems. I pay £9250 a year, for what? I have to move around for lectures, we don’t have our own building for our course, our school has it’s own building but I have nothing in there. We don’t get any books or textbooks for free. The vast majority of lectures are biased and don’t try half the time. We are expected to attend loads of extra lectures but they are hardly relevant. Other courses at the uni get an amazing lab, or faculty. My course gets nothing. I feel that the university sadly doesn’t care about people like me. The university has good support systems for the majority of students. The cafes are good, the library is fantastic. Overall the University of Portsmouth is a good university but I feel that as it’s growing and becoming better recognised it needs to fix some fundamental issues or it could get stuck with a stigma and that’s hard to remove.

While the courses themselves are of decent quality, the support staff for dealing with problems outside of the university fail to offer any real solutions outside of “just ignore it and hope it goes away”.

Great uni with great facilites. Beating at a seaside uni is a great experience as the city is not crowded, and it a lot more peaceful. The course is quite amazing too, it gave me the opportunity to go study abroad &! Another country, Strasbourg, France. Another great city.

The uni is dead out, lecturers do no give enough advice on assignments. The night life is alright but clubs are too small.

The campus might not be the most beautiful, but the facilities are very good. The library is huge with loads of seating (this is a big deal!) and the gym is really good
