Good luck to Team Portsmouth in Varsity 2026 🙌

This weekend, Portsmouth will host the 18th Varsity against the University of Southampton. But, before the rivalry between the South Coast teams took hold from 2009, we played against the University of Chichester back in 2008.

This edition of Purple Wednesdays, the university's free student newspaper, also featured @uop_skydiving and @uop_subaqua. Do you recognise anyone? 🪂🌊

Spring has arrived in Portsmouth 🪻🌤️

We’re loving the spring buds, wallflowers, and hints of sunshine on campus as we prepare for an Easter Bank Holiday full of chocolate and windy walks along the seafront 🐣 🌊

Swipe for a cute surprise 🐻

Congratulations, Matthew and Luke! 👏

Two University of Portsmouth graduates have been nominated for BAFTA Television Awards, and we couldn’t be prouder 💜

⭐ Matthew Lewis, cinematographer – Adolescence
🎓 BA (Hons) Film Production, 2017

🎥 Matthew’s amazing one-take camera operation for the highly acclaimed Netflix crime drama series helped make the series one of the most visually stunning shows of last year.

⭐ Luke Flight, editor – Unforgotten: The Bradford City Fire
🎓 BA (Hons) Television and Film Production, 2012

🎞️ Luke Flight’s incredible work as an editor on this BBC documentary tells the stories of the 56 lives lost in the 1985 tragedy, and those who won’t let it be forgotten, with thoughtfulness and impact.

“We are extremely proud of both graduates, whose professionalism and creative excellence continue to be recognised at the highest level within the screen industries.”
- Ben Thompson, Programme Area Lead and Principal Lecturer, Film Production

We’ll be watching and cheering on Matthew and Luke on Sunday 10 May 🤞
