MSc in Sports Management - Batch of 2026

4.6

The environment is chill and the lecturers are supportive.

Tips: If anyone wants to Join University of Portsmouth, it's a friendly campus. But for better part-time job options people should move to Southampton as it's more diverse here. I have lived my whole campus life in Southampton. Job opportunities are better here, nightlife is better here as compared to Portsmouth, and it's more diverse here.

Likes (Indian Food): Food is never a problem, not just in Portsmouth or Southampton but I guess all over the UK, as students have access to every Indian food in Local supermarket of the UK, even in Mega Stores like ASDA, Lidl, Tesco. I live in Southampton and we have some really good Indian restaurants like Coriander and Bayleaf. My personal favourite Indian Restaurant is Coriander for a good wine and dine.

Dislikes (Value for money): I don't think the tuition fee for M.Sc.. Sports Management is justified as there are no Internships provided by the university itself. I do think so if a student is paying around 25,000 for his M.Sc., there should be some internships provided by the university for the betterment of the student in shaping his career.

Top University for research power.

Tips: There are many things that students should keep in their mind before coming to the University of Portsmouth. They should know the entry requirements. The acceptance rate for international students is 70%. Prepare for interviews because they take interviews for some courses sometimes. They gave scholarships based on your last course percentage. I am satisfied with the university and course.

Likes (Student Life): The University of Portsmouth is pretty good for students. They provide every necessity that a student should have and the career opportunities are great. There are many events for the students. We Indians celebrate every kind of festival there. There are cultural clubs also which organize various events. There are great facilities for interactive learning and sports. In a nutshell, it is a great hub for enjoying student life.

Dislikes (Value for money): The faculty of University of Portsmouth is passionate and very helpful. They are dedicated towards the progress of students. They are always available for help. They have a unique way of teaching and the most important thing is that they teach and deliver their lectures in a well-organized way.

3.9

Internships and placement opportunities are available.

Tips: No need to worry or panic before coming it is a very good place to study. Friendly, supportive and cooperative with international students because that is how this university is very diverse. No security problem and I, as a girl always feel safe even outside the campus. Library is where I spend most of my time and I feel peace there and Portsmouth is peaceful too on whole.

Likes (Internships): Work placements happen as I said before and they usually happen for 36 weeks I have read that around 17000 pounds are the average package for that regarding internships. So most of the students find themselves on the portals like jobisjob and graduatejobs bright network is another good portal for internships only.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): University organises recruitment fair and career events but these are mostly need-based, most of the time startups come to take part in the university. Also there are many jobs posted on the job board but still, like it happens in the top colleges of India it does not happen here, mega recruitment is something I have not seen as of now but I am still studying so I don't know much about it.

4.1

A university to get admitted to

Tips: The buildings of the university are scattered and not in a place so many students sometimes find it a bit difficult to move from one lecture to the other. But with me it is not the case, our school of business is unique I must say! Gym facilities are great but there can be some improvements done to student career support in terms of searching the jobs or making the most out of placement year. Student community is good no doubt and there are many research opportunities too so if you are coming from India think like you will get many opportunities.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty has to be the best part of this university. So helpful and supportive even if they see an underperforming student for them everyone is equal and they also understand the shift in the education system and try to make the transition very smooth. There is a good chance to make a good bond with any professor on campus.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Before coming learn something to make simple things like tea/coffee, maybe some veggies or basic curries so very little money will be spent. Saving is the key to living a student life. Indian food is available but the restaurants are expensive nothing like the street style. I spend somewhere between 175 GBP- 200 GBP on food each month which I think is fair.
