Working with schools and colleges
Our Schools and Colleges Team can show your students what higher education offers, and help you guide them towards achieving their goals.
Military service children
Portsmouth is a naval city and as such, we strive to offer extra support to military service children and their families. If you have served, or are currently serving in a branch of the British Armed Forces, you and your family are likely to be eligible for additional support while studying.
Armed Forces Covenant
We've signed the the Armed Forces Covenant - a pledge to honour the Armed Forces and support the Armed Forces Community.
Firesetters' Integrated Responsive Educational Programme (FIRE-P)
Alongside Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, we've developed a fire safety awareness programme for adults with convictions for deliberate firesetting.
Police Education Team
Our Police Education Team (PET) delivers high-quality contextualised teaching and learning to new police officers at levels 4-6, as part of a Police Education Consortium with other higher education institutions.
