Product Development degrees

Best is for sure location and teaching. So central so have access to all the main parts of the city. Plus teaching standard is good, can feel it when comparing the same degree with other universities (always feel more well rounded). Worst is the campus and SU. Just feels small and lacks integration with the students. Feel like you attend classes in the city, not that you are part of a university

As an online student at the University of Portsmouth, I found the flexibility of the digital platform to be one of the biggest advantages. The ability to access lectures and resources on your own schedule made balancing studies with work and personal commitments much easier. The virtual learning environment was user-friendly, and the dedicated support staff helped resolve any technical issues promptly, contributing to a seamless learning experience. However, the online format also had its challenges. One of the most significant downsides was the reduced opportunity for face-to-face interaction, which made networking and building a community with peers a bit more difficult. Additionally, while the digital resources were comprehensive, there were occasional delays in receiving feedback or accessing certain materials compared to traditional classroom settings. Overall, my online experience at Portsmouth was highly rewarding, with the flexibility and accessibility being standout features. Addressing the challenges of community engagement and streamlining feedback processes could further enhance the online learning experience.

Lovely area to study in with it being rural but it’s also close to the shops for essential. The library open 24 hours is also a helpful for studying , as it is a change of scenery from my bedroom. The university could be improved by making student union events more affordable and for catered students, a range of meal options at dinner would improve the catered facilities.

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.
