Teaching Excellence: It has a Gold rating in the TEF 2023, personally I've had a great teaching experience so far in the second year. Student Support: I feel the University has strong academic and personal support. Affordability: Portsmouth is one of the most budget-friendly student cities. I can pay my rent and still go out to social events. Facilities: It invests in modern infrastructure, like the eco-friendly Ravelin Sports Centre. It could focus on: Study Spaces: More individual and group study areas could be added. Digital Resources: Easier access to online learning materials would help students. Accommodation: Expanding affordable housing options would benefit students.

So far some of the tutors have been fantastic in getting back to me if I've got certain queries and issues regarding the assignments. They always make me feel helped where necessary. However this year, some of my module coordinators lack specific understanding of the fundamentals of the course they're teaching. For instance, they forget when deadlines for important tasks and cannot answer questions from students that they should be answering. It's generally a mixed bag but it hasn't given me a negative out look.

Catherine House was a great accommodation for when I was studying in my first year. I had no major problems and 90% of the time everything functioned as it should. When something broke such as the microwave, we got a replacement the next day. The walls were sound proofed and I felt safe as you had to scan your fob 3 times before entering your residence. The only issue I would register is I didn't get hot water for some time during the winter which was a big issue. However it didn't deter my views on the whole experience.

Overall, I have had a very positive experience at this university. The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive, and the resources available to students are plentiful. From engaging coursework to various extracurricular activities, there is a wealth of opportunities for personal and professional growth. I have made lasting connections and memories here, and because of all these factors, I would wholeheartedly recommend this university to prospective students looking for a nurturing and enriching environment.

I would like my course to have more actual time together for meeting, sharing ideas, engaging in drawing activities, and having discussions. I believe that increasing the amount of time we spend together will enhance our learning experience and allow for more meaningful interactions.
