***************
The University of Portsmouth is a new breed of university. We’re committed to helping every student, whatever their background, achieve their absolute best.
Young and ambitious, we are respected for:
· the quality of our teaching, learning and student outcomes
· the all-round excellent student experience we offer
· the extensive support we provide, from wellbeing to academic skills
· our commitment to boosting student employability
Portsmouth is the only university to offer Connected Degrees: a three-year course with a flexible fourth year placement.
This gives you more time to explore your career choices, and to find the perfect placement. It also means you can stay connected to the same friends throughout your studies. Then glide into professional life, with full support from the University throughout your placement. And if you prefer a placement year at the traditional time, you can opt to do it after year two.
As well as paid placements with employers, UK students can choose a self-employed placement as a traditional sandwich year, getting a start-up or freelance career off the ground with expert support.
We’re proud of our full 5 star rating for excellence in the QS World University Rankings in 2025, and the highest possible Gold rating in the most recent Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). This means we are officially recognised as one of the UK’s best universities for teaching. We are rated Gold because we provide a world-class education, and an outstanding and supportive student experience.
We’re even prouder of our graduates’ success. With the support of our highly rated Careers and Employability Service , 93 per cent of our students are in work or further study 15 months after graduation (HESA Graduate Outcomes, 2022/23).
Our research has a global impact. 77 per cent was rated world-leading and internationally excellent in the most recent research assessment exercise (REF 2021), which makes Portsmouth a top 3 modern university for research power.
Researchers at Portsmouth work closely with business, industry and the public sector to solve society’s problems.
There are 5 faculties at the University of Portsmouth:
· Faculty of Business and Law
· Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries
· Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
· Faculty of Science and Health
· Faculty of Technology
We welcome thousands of international students to join our inclusive community. Our city centre campus is at the heart of a lively city by the sea, on England’s sunny south coast.
