My experience at the University of Portsmouth (ICP) has honestly been amazing so far. The lecturers are supportive, approachable, and genuinely want you to succeed — they don’t just teach, they guide you. What I really like is how practical and hands-on the learning is; we’re encouraged to apply what we learn through projects, presentations, and real-world examples, which really helps build confidence for life after uni. The campus itself has a great atmosphere — everything’s close by, modern, and easy to navigate. The library is one of my favourite spots (open 24/7👏), and there are plenty of study spaces, both quiet and group areas. Student support is also excellent; whether it’s help with academics, careers, or mental health, there’s always someone willing to listen. Portsmouth, as a city, is also a huge plus. It’s compact, walkable, and right by the sea — perfect if you love a calm environment. read more
