University of Portsmouth

At Portsmouth, we recruit students on the basis of their capacity to benefit from what we have to offer. We look beyond headline grades and past success. What we are interested in is your potential and where you are going.

Portsmouth is a new breed of university, where we learn and collaborate differently. Our students learn to communicate effectively with the many different types of people they will encounter throughout their working lives. And our graduates become flexible and adaptable to new situations and challenges. These are precisely the skills that are critical for both their own and wider society’s future.

Our approach to learning has earned us a Gold rating in the government-backed Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) scheme – the highest accolade available. This is a testament to the fact that our approach works. 96.5% of our graduates are in work or higher education six months after leaving us. We are number one in the UK for boosting graduate salaries.

Our academic excellence is matched by our outstanding student support. Particularly relevant for would-be applicants to Portsmouth is the fact that we guarantee all first-year students who make us their firm first choice a place in halls. This makes the transition from home to the University easier and more enjoyable. We very much look forward to introducing you to our welcoming University and friendly city.
