"I chose Portsmouth because it is recognised by ICE (the Institution of Civil Engineers) and has a good reputation. In our first year we had a lot of field trips and tackled a lot of very different subjects, ranging from structure and engineering analysis, to design. The lecturers have been especially friendly, easy to approach and very helpful as most of them have an open door policy." Cynthia Conger-Thompson |
