Great Location by the coast, no hills and a walkable city with loads to do. Great academic support and support looking for careers and placements. Good facilities with new facilities under construction however some facilities are not open during weekends and library can be crowded during peak exam period. There are great societies and the student union does host events like winter and summer balls however there is a lack of a social atmosphere, which I think if it had a pub would be better.

Good course content with both practical and theroretical knowledge and have contact with tutor every fortnight and can arrange meeting if needed and the labs and facilities are suitably equiped but nothing revolutionary. Some lecturerers will be far better than others and more engaging however there may be one or two, who can teach you well but you will find there lectures and tutorials are a bit boring.

It is cheaper compared to a lot of other universities and there are good bus routes, cycle lanes and two stations in the city. Locally there are graduate opportunities in healthcare, aero-space and maritime defence, engineering, utilities and cybersecurity to my knowledge but portsmouth is also close to southampton, London, Guildford and other major towns and cities where you can find more opportunities and they have a great careers service to help. Personally, I haven't had any issues with safety but some friends have but typical of any large city. Gunwharf and commercial road is a great place to get a part time job and lots of pubs in pompey and careers service help you find one but can be hard due to current economic climate. Very diverse city with international food shops and restaurants.

Best things would definitely be the student union, the opportunities the lecturers give you, the endless amount of pubs/ clubs about, and about 3 Greg’s all within 5 min walk of each other. I think the worst thing would be sometimes there’s not a lot on from the Uni to make friends or spend time together with people, but they make there lessons interactive so 🤷‍♂️

There’s honestly nothing bad that I could has at here, they look after you, I get daily emails from Careers about placements, and jobs . There’s opportunities to go abroad in year 3 to learn more. It’s just amazing 10/10

The maintenance staff can take the piss sometimes with ignoring the logs and issues. But there getting better slowly, also the weekend staff can be useless, and people don’t bring there bins down in ages and drink up the lifts but the weekday staff? 10/10, haven’t ever met a nicer, more professional, more bubbly group of individuals. They always Brighton up my day, and arrange for activities every week which anyone’s welcome too 10/10
