Just researching. Mainly on Professional Degrees in that Uni like BA (HONS) Architecture / MArch for Registration as Architects in Singapore and BEng (HONS) Mech-Civil-Elect / MEng for registration as Engineers in Singapore.
It is pretty much a mid-tier Uni in England. But the living expenses is way lower than London.
Since it is also recognised by PEB:
https://www.peb.gov.sg/html/pe_approved.html
Also the Board of Architects just to add on:
http://www.boa.gov.sg/education.html
At the end of the day, if a potential student considers a career in Singapore/UK as an Architect or Engineer, provided they complete the requisite qualification from the University of Portsmouth in UK, on-campus. So do u guys think it's worth the shot going to? The cost is really low as compared to other England cities. And the city of Portsmouth is small and really conducive for studies as there's little distraction of a big city.
Just wondering. Since ranking really doesn't matter anymore in this case, as it is a Professional Degree meant for registration (like Engineers, Architects etc), especially for Architecture course as it's a design-based programme. So as long as at the end of the day it is recognised for registration purposes... The university ranking doesn't matter at all, can I say? Moreover this University ranking isn't that low anyway. It is literally right smack in the mid-table (UK wise) for all ranking charts I am referring to.
Just a scenario; if a potential student decides to head back to Singapore for his or her Master (like NTU or NUS) after their Architecture/Engineering Bach's degree, their degree will still be recognised too. Since both BOA and PEB recognises University of Portsmouth if u do it on-campus. Just that u are completing the second half of the part in a recognised Singaporean Uni.
All the above scenario are based on potential Singapore-students aiming at Architecture or Engineering courses only. As obviously it will be wiser to go to a higher ranking one, if possible, for courses like Business or Humanities.
