Doing criminology and forensic investigations at the university of portsmouth

I've recently received an unconditional offer at The University of Portsmouth which was one of my first offers that came up on my UCAS after sending off my application just recently. I'm a little worried since I see a lot of people's negative reviews on Portsmouth despite the fact that I have already gone there physically for their open day. If there is anyone who is currently in Portsmouth or has graduated from there, could you really tell me your personal experiences in Portsmouth and if it is worth accepting this unconditional offer? I was more eager to go to either Keeles or Northumbria (neither have replied to my application yet though!) but my parents are adamant about me going to Portsmouth since it's relatively close! ☹️

hey idk if you've already made your mind up but I've applied to do forensics and crim at keele and northumbria and got offers from both, not entirely sure what to choose but leaning northumbria. The reason i didn't apply to portsmouth is because it isn't accredited by the chartered society of forensic science but the others are.

Hiya, I assume you've probably made your decision by now, but I am a fourth year doing Crim and Forensics at Portsmouth (I did a placement year). If you have any questions, feel free to PM me!
