Welcome to the University of Portsmouth London.
We're a thriving University with a strong reputation for teaching and learning. Built on excellent student experience - and it's this foundation that's inspired us to develop a new campus in London.
Why study with us?
- In the top 40 for student satisfaction (NSS 2022)
- Rated five stars for our overall teaching and research (QS World Rankings 2023)
- Nine out of ten Portsmouth graduates are in work or further study 15 months after finishing their course (HESA Graduate Outcomes Survey 2018-19)
Working closely with Waltham Forest Council, we want to deliver a state-of-the-art higher education experience. We want to create new choices for our students: a flexible teaching environment which allows each and every student to succeed in their chosen career. Our aim is to build a space full of opportunities for everyone.
Our plans
We'll initially offer nine courses:
- BA (Hons) Business and Management
- BA (Hons) Marketing
- BSc (Hons) Computer Science
- BSc (Econ) (Hons) Economics, Finance and Banking
- MA Digital Marketing
- MSc International Business and Management

To begin, we'll be based in Juniper House, next to Walthamstow Central train station.
We'll start work on our purpose-built campus soon. Based next-door to Juniper House, Central House will be a haven of life and learning. We want to create a sustainable campus, with fantastic learning facilities and green spaces so that our students are happy and engaged.
Why Waltham Forest?
The University of Portsmouth and Waltham Forest Borough Council have so much in common. We share the same values and commitment to our communities and environmental responsibilities, and see massive opportunities for us to grow by working together.
Where we're based
Our London campus will be located opposite the main transport hub in Walthamstow, with excellent transport facilities across London and beyond. We'll design our buildings around the student experience over the next few years, with a focus on usability and sustainability.
