The University of Portsmouth officially launches its London campus in Waltham Forest today (15 September).
University of Portsmouth London will welcome its first postgraduate students in February 2024, with both undergraduate and further postgraduate students joining in September 2024. The new campus will initially occupy two floors in Juniper House near Walthamstow Central Station. In March 2023, the University of Portsmouth opened an Admissions and Recruitment Centre in Walthamstow Library as part of the preparations for welcoming our first students in Waltham Forest.
The University is working with Waltham Forest Council to launch the campus, along with its educational property and services partner Northchild Group. In addition to undergraduate and postgraduate courses, University of Portsmouth London will extend its initial offering to provide work-based learning opportunities in the form of apprenticeships and flexible ways to study, all designed with the skills and needs of local people and businesses in mind.
The University is one of the top modern universities in the country and was ranked 33rd, up 34 places, in the recent Guardian University Guide 2024. It announced its plans in March 2022 to work with Waltham Forest to bring a new campus to the borough. Waltham Forest was carefully selected as a borough that reflects the University’s values, including a strong commitment to access to higher education for everyone regardless of their background.
Until now it has been the only north east London borough without a higher education institute. As the first London Borough of Culture, it is also an eclectic area that is attractive to students, with excellent transport links and new planned developments, including Soho Theatre Walthamstow
