Great coastal location

ICP is located in the heart of the University’s city centre campus and is just a short walk to miles of beaches on the south coast of England. Portsmouth has plenty of tourist and historical sites, whilst central London is a mere 90 minutes away by direct train. As the best connected port in the UK, passenger ferries depart from Portsmouth to France, Spain and the Isle of Wight.

Direct transfer from ICP to the University of Portsmouth

On successful completion of the ICP programme, students are guaranteed entry to the relevant degree programmes at the University of Portsmouth.

Accessibility

ICP’s flexible entry system of October, February and June intakes enables you to begin your studies at the time that is best suited to you. This allows you to join the degree programme of your choice ahead of students who have opted for the traditional UK academic entry system.

Study in a smaller class with personalised attention

ICP promotes a personalised and supportive educational philosophy that encourages students to reach their maximum academic potential. Academic classes contain no more than 35 students and English Language classes are restricted to a maximum size of just 20 students. Lecturers are also available for private consultation after class if further help or assistance is required.
