If you are coming to visit the University of Portsmouth to undertake your own walking tour there are a couple of things worth remembering.

Feel free to look around With most of the communal buildings including the Student Centre, Library and the Nuffield Centre there is no problem in having a look at the facilities and services that will be available for you if you become a student here. However, please note it is not possible for you to go into any main teaching areas.

Meeting with academics... If you wish to speak to an academic or have a tour of the teaching facilities during your visit this needs to be arranged in advance. To do this contact the admissions team for your course - you can find their details on the useful contacts page.

Time of year... If you visit the University in the holidays expect the campus to be quieter than usual, especially in the summer. Also take note of the opening hours - during the summer months some services run shorter opening hours so check the website before visiting.

Not sure what department? If you are unsure which department or faculty your course from is then contact the Information Centre.

Directions  Travel and location information is available on our maps and directions pages.

Other places to visit Within Portsmouth there are plenty of other areas that may be of interest, including the main shopping area Commercial Road, Southsea Common and the Seafront. For information on these and many other attractions please visit www.visitportsmouth.co.uk
