University of Portsmouth

We’re proud to be a breath of fresh air in the academic world – a place where everyone gets the support they need to achieve their best. We’re always discovering. We don’t fit the mould, we break it. Just as the world keeps moving, so do we.

We’re closely involved with our local community and we take our ideas into the global marketplace. We partner with businesses, industry, and governments to set the course for a better future. And we educate and transform the lives of our students to help them achieve their potential. 

We stand out, not just in the UK but in the world. We excel in research areas from cosmology and astrophysics to cybersecurity, forensics, and sport science. Since the first day we opened our doors, we've looked towards the future. And we're here to help you shape it.

From childcare and sports facilities to teaching spaces and laboratories, we're investing in our facilities to improve the experience we deliver to our students, academic and researchers, our partners in business, and the local community.
Our undergraduates can access the latest equipment during their studies. There's also academic and personal support available to help them make the most of their time with us.

The same facilities we use for our research are also open to businesses – whether they're looking to access our experts for training, conduct their own research, or partner with us on a collaborative research project. We're also providing key dental, legal and nursery services to the Portsmouth community through our clinics and childcare facilities.

Off-campus, we've developed facilities in partnership with other businesses and organisations – including the Southern Water treatment plant, the Harwell Science and Innovation Centre in Oxfordshire, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France.
