Your graduation ceremony
The facilities and on-site equipment you need to complete your studies, such as computer rooms, access to laptops, the Library and laboratories
Access to resources including electronic journals, alternative guide to funding, and thousands of hours of educational videos on LinkedIn Learning
University support services including academic, financial, careers and wellbeing support and personal tutors
Membership of the Students' Union (giving you the right to vote in elections, join clubs and societies, and get free independent advice)

If you are a graduate of the University of Portsmouth, you could be eligible for 20% off postgraduate courses.
As well as study costs, you'll also need enough money to support yourself while you’re studying. Most UK students use a maintenance loan backed by the Government to help cover living costs.
Waltham Forest, and the whole city of London, has a huge number of student accommodation options all within easy reach of our campus. Plus, with London’s extensive transport network, you’re never too far away from the excitement. You could choose to stay in private student accommodation (where bills are included) or opt to rent with a landlord.
We've outlined some of the costs that you'll need to think about, depending on your choice of accommodation. If you choose a private accommodation, your bills will not be included and will need to be paid separately. Bills are included for purpose-built student accommodations- you can find our list of partners on our website.

Studying is an investment in you - but that doesn't mean it's easy. It takes time, commitment, and financing. We understand that.
We will have a range of financial support available for students at our London campus.
