I’ve really enjoyed studying Computer Animation and VFX. The course has been creatively fulfilling and technically challenging. The lecturers are very supportive and the projects have helped me build a strong portfolio. While job prospects in the industry are tough right now, that’s more down to the market than the course itself. read more

I’m currently studying MSc Computer Network Administration and Management at the University of Portsmouth, and overall, it’s been a great academic experience. The course is well-structured, with a balanced mix of theory and practical learning. The lecturers are highly knowledgeable and supportive, and the facilities—especially the networking labs—are excellent for hands-on experience. The curriculum covers a wide range of up-to-date topics including cloud computing, cybersecurity, and network design, which are essential in today’s job market. I’ve found the content both challenging and rewarding, and it has definitely helped me gain a deeper understanding of my field.One thing I’ve struggled with, however, is finding a part-time job while studying. Despite applying to various roles in and around Portsmouth, it’s been difficult to secure work that fits around my course schedule. This has been a bit disappointing, especially as international students often rely on part-time jobs to supp read more

I may be based because I did comp. sci. before, but the content seems very basic and not at university level like in other universitites. But it is nice and considerate that they are trying to give everyone the same chance and bring them to the same level, but by gods, they should make the 1st year exams harder. read more

I like this course, I think it's good. There are some bits here and there where I'm a little conflicted, but everyone has a different experience. I might think some things could be better, whereas some others would say it's fine. We are constantly asked for course feedback, so I like that we can communicate ourselves to the people responsible for the course. read more
