University of Portsmouth

The University of Portsmouth was inaugurated in 1992. The former Portsmouth Polytechnic, one of the largest and most successful in the UK, itself grew from the Portsmouth and Gosport School of Science and Arts, founded in 1869. "The University of Portsmouth will continue to be a centre of excellence and innovation in education, student experience and employability, aspiration-raising, research, knowledge transfer and community leadership." - University of Portsmouth Mission Statement The University is now at the forefront of a rapidly changing, thriving city, with a modern diverse campus, taking pride in its reputation among students for the friendliness and approachability of its staff, and for the provision of a well structured and supportive learning environment.

3,000 plus staff support our 19,000 students, including 3,000 from over 100 countries. We offer superb facilities in a vibrant waterfront location – a university by the sea that's also in the heart of one of Britain's most historic cities.

The University has excellent links with industry and a strong record of student employability. We have a clear focus on Enterprise, and our Centre for Enterprise, established in 2000, aims to inspire Portsmouth students to learn and succeed in entrepreneurship, offering free training and mentoring to both graduates and current students. Four of our students have been awarded prestigious Kauffman scholarships - more than any other UK University.
