Never satisfied with standing still, the University of Portsmouth is committed to striving for even greater success and £11.5 million was recently invested in the library facilities. In fact, such investment is evident throughout the campus and £56 million has been spent in recent years, including £12 million on a cutting-edge, purpose built premises for Portsmouth Business School.

With such easy access to both London and the rest of the world, the University of Portsmouth boasts over 3,500 international students, all of whom find themselves at home in a city that boasts centuries of comings and goings from people of all nationalities.
