Accommodation & facilities

IN THIS SECTION

Having invested a lot in accommodation recently, the University of Portsmouth can guarantee a room in halls to all new, full-time undergraduates who make them their firm, first choice and meet deadlines for accommodation. Current sites include:

  • Catherine House - in the heart of the city centre and close to all University facilities.
  • Rees and Burrell - near the seafront, a short walk from the University.

You can choose between staying in catered or self-catering halls with a shared kitchen, or a studio flat with your own kitchenette. Prices start at £98 per week.

University of Portsmouth students on Whatuni say:

“The first year of university I lived in halls and had a very pleasurable experience.”

“It’s spacious and allows lots of light to flood in to make sure that you remain connected with the outside world and don’t feel enclosed and isolated.”

“Lovely atmosphere with lots of friendly people.”

The University of Portsmouth has a strong range of facilities available for students to use.

Sports facilities have seen lots of investment, so you can make ample use of:

  • Two sports halls
  • Two dance/martial arts studios
  • A 100+ station gym with CV, resistance and free weights spaces
  • Squash courts
  • A synthetic turf hockey pitch
  • Grass pitches for football, rugby and lacrosse.

The library offers access to almost 3,900 books, DVDs, maps and microfilms as well as thousands of eBooks, eJournals, and online newspapers. When you need to study, there are over 1,400 spaces available, with a choice of silent, group or social study areas. There are also 350 laptops you can loan, as well as PCs and Macs, with wireless access throughout.

2015 saw the completion of a joint £9 million building project between the University and the city’s New Theatre Royal, which resulted in an innovative new facility for students studying or participating in film, television, sound, broadcasting, drama and musical theatre.

The University is currently building a new £53 million indoor sports centre. With facilities including an eight-lane swimming pool, climbing wall and ski simulator, it will be one of the most sustainable sports buildings in the UK.

University of Portsmouth students on Whatuni say:

“Everything and anything I need they provide.”

“Very good, clean, modern.”

“Library and study spaces are really good.”
