At Portsmouth, I’ve learnt that opportunities are there if you want to take them; to have confidence in my abilities; and how to focus my ideas into an area of research.’
Explore our facilities
Take a closer look at the exceptional facilities that you'll have access to when you join us as a postgraduate student.
The University of Portsmouth is a brilliant, nurturing environment that has allowed me to grow in so many ways. The facilities and services provided have given me so many opportunities to not only learn about engineering and being employable but also learn about diverse cultures from around the world that come here to study too.
Life outside study
University life is about more than studying. When lectures are over and you need a break from the library, you'll find there's so much to see and do in Portsmouth. Discover the amazing places to eat, shop and socialise, the beautiful seaside and green spaces on your doorstep, and much more.
I would definitely recommend studying in Portsmouth, it is a student-friendly city which you are going to fall in love with from first sight.
Where you'll live
Whether you live in one of our halls of residence or in a privately-rented home in the city, everything that Portsmouth has to offer – including the beach and the Common, a sprawling green space right on the seaside – will be within easy reach.

The city is very affordable and is a home away from home.
