学校概述:

普兹茅斯高校 是一所坐落于汉普郡朴茨茅斯市的英国大学。她由Guildhall教学区和Langstone教学区构成.近期，该高校有意与南安普顿大学协作。

1869年“朴茨茅斯及戈斯波特科学与艺术学校”创立。因为国际海运和貿易是该地的基本，因此学校关键的作用是训炼这些在港口及皇室南海舰队船坞工作中的技术工程师及其技工。可是因为二战德国纳粹的轰炸，促使该地的海运业衰落及其人口降低，学校迫不得已更改了课程标准和方式去吸引住大量的学员。

那样一直来到20新世纪60时代，由于获得了政府部门的支助，学校改名为朴茨茅斯加工工艺学院。

Campus

The University is split between two campuses: Guildhall and Langstone.

Langstone is the smaller of the two campuses, located in Milton on the eastern edge of Portsea Island, the island on which the city of Portsmouth sits. The campus overlooks Langstone Harbour and it is home to the University's sports grounds. It also includes a restaurant and bar, as well as a 'student village', which provides accommodation for 565 students in three halls of residence; Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother (QEQM), Trust Hall and Langstone Flats. Students in QEQM and Langstone Flats have en-suite rooms. It used to be home of the University's School of Languages and Area Studies. The School has now moved into the Park Building on the Guildhall Campus.

The Guildhall site is much larger. Unlike most university campuses, it is not all enclosed on one tract of land, instead featuring various university buildings scattered throughout the centre of the city. This campus contains much of the University's teaching facilities, and nearly all of the Student Halls of residence (except the Langstone student village and two halls (Rees Hall and Burrell House) located on Victoria Promenade, the city's main esplanade).

The University Library (formerly the Frewen Library) was extended in 2006 at a cost of ￡11 million.Originally due to open in October, ongoing delays meant that it was not complete until January 2007, when it was opened by the crime writer P D James. The University has also in recent years invested in the Faculty of Science, in particular through the renovation of its aluminium-clad main building, St Michael's which is next to popular student halls, James Watson.

A new faculty called Creative and Cultural Industries was opened in September 2006. It aims to provide a unique environment in which all aspects of creative thinking will flourish and develop by combining creative schools from across the university.

Student activities

The University offers a wide range of sports clubs, and fields teams in many competitions and in BUSA leagues. The sports on offer vary from traditional team games like football, rugby union, and cricket to Octopush, a form of under-water hockey and mens lacrosse. Notably, the University is home to the longest running university paintball club in the United Kingdom. Unsurprisingly given Portsmouth's rich maritime history and location, Sailing and Rowing are also very popular, and the sailing team enters a team the for the annual Cowes Week regatta on the Isle of Wight.

Despite not offering a degree in Music, the University has a full time music department offering instrumental lessons and ensembles. These include the Choir, Orchestra, Wind Band and Big Band.

The faculty of technology enters a team into the inter-university motorsport challenge, Formula Student.

Student Union

The University of Portsmouth Students' Union was voted best Union in the UK in the New Musical Express in 2004. Formerly housed in the ex-NAAFI (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) building Alexandra House, a new ￡6.5 million purpose-built Union was opened in 2002 at the other end of Ravelin Park, to the north of Frewen Library, though the main entertainment area has been significantly altered recently.

The Union houses a bar. It also has 2 nightclubs (Lux and C02) and a Balfours/Co-Op grocery shop, along with Blackwells bookshop, Connect up the university's computer help store(part run by pcideals) and also its own radio station, Pure FM .

Since the summer of 2005, a restructure resulted in the pision of the Union into the UPSU Charity - whose broad remit covers such areas as the running of University clubs and societies - and its trading-orientated operations, under the remit of the University of Portsmouth Enterprise Ltd., a company owned by the University of Portsmouth to "[offer] to business, industry and the public sector the wide range of skills and knowledge in the University".
