About University of Portsmouth

The University of Portsmouth is a post-1992 university based in the historic port city of Portsmouth on the south coast of England. It is a large institution with a compact city-centre campus and a long tradition of professionally oriented, applied higher education serving both the local community and students from across the UK.

Key strengths include forensic science, criminology, business, computing, pharmacy, engineering, and media. Portsmouth's forensic and criminology provision is among the most well-known in the UK. The city's naval and defence connections also support engineering and technology programmes. Students benefit from a relatively affordable city with good transport links to London and the wider south of England.
