Awful Learning Experience As a mature student studying a degree in Virtual and Augmented Reality, who has just completed his 3rd year at Portsmouth University. I have to say I have had an awful experience. From studying online in the first year and being charged full tuition fees, to having my student support cancelled in the 3rd year. I can with my hand on my heart say I have had an awful education there. Think twice before you enroll.

Business Information Systems Student I studied Business Information Systems and it was a fantastic course for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the support that I got from my lecturers, they were really great. Any time I could pop into their office for a chat/coffee and talk about a specific topic that I was struggling with during my coursework assignment. They would sit down with me and help me to understand which boosted my confidence. I learnt a mixture of modules which helped me decide which career path I would like to go into when I graduate. I loved the fact that whilst having the lectures I was able to put that into context by doing the practical sessions. The lecturers have really good knowledge in their field and are very interactive. Secondaly, I had a great opportunity to go out on a placement year working with an organisation in the industry which was one of the greatest things I enjoyed. I was able to network with other students and employees, work on critical projects, provide value back to the company and develop new skills and understand how the world of work actually is. The University of Portsmouth really helped me prepare to gain a placement by providing me with feedback on my CV & Cover letter. The Careers and Employability team helped me develop my interview skills. I now feel confident when attending interviews and assessment centres. Overall my University experience was great as in Portsmouth there are so many things I did as a student from walking along the Southea beach, joining different societies and going to movies with my friends at Vue Cinema. As I have enjoyed my Univeristy experience I am now going to do a Masters which I am excited about!

Being an International student at The University of Portsmouth.. Being an International student, It was easy to adjust and get help. The university buildings are spread out around the city and the locations are not far from each other. Easily accessible by walking or taking the University buses which are free. There are university cafes around the buildings to grab a bite. Professors are very welcoming, interactive and give extra support if needed. The university gives you an option to join societies according to your hobbies/interests. One of the best ways to find friends in the city. The university is one of the best in terms of teaching and accommodating students and has a plethora of facilities in order to develop and gain new skills and knowledge.

International Relations Student About to go into my 3rd and final year at UoP. As an international student I was nervous about attending uni in a whole new country but I can say that I have had a good experience at UoP. There is a lot of support for international students, and the vast majority of staff and students are extremely welcoming. My course has been interesting, yet challenging. Doing second year online didn't really help but I still felt like I had a good level of support and communication from the university, which was great.
