University announces new partnership with Portsmouth Football Club


The University of Portsmouth is delighted to announce that it will be signing a three-year deal to become Portsmouth Football Club’s Main Partner, building on our successful year as the Football Club’s Official Education sponsor.

In August 2017 the University partnered with the Football Club on mutually-beneficial projects to give our students valuable work experience, internships and placements at the Club. The University wants to strengthen its existing partnership with Portsmouth Football Club to further cement our commitment to the economic, educational and cultural life of our city and the region.

University of Portsmouth Vice-Chancellor, Professor Graham Galbraith, said: “As the leading university in England for sports science it is a natural fit for us to work together with Portsmouth Football Club. We are ambitious for the success of the University, Portsmouth Football Club and our great city. Education is the foundation of a prosperous community and by working together we can encourage young people to consider futures they may not have believed achievable in the past.”

Our renewed partnership will provide a number of collaborative research opportunities, use of the grounds and facilities and discounted tickets for all staff and students. Portsmouth Football Club and the University will also work collaboratively to engage players and schools through the University’s outreach programme with local schools and colleges.

“Being part of the city of Portsmouth as chairman of their football club while having a close relationship with a high-quality University is a magic combination. It is clear to me that both institutions play a huge role in the city, and the University in particular is essential in providing educational courses that drive many aspects of the local economy,” said the Chairman of Portsmouth Football Club, Michael Eisner.

“Specifically we want to help increase participation rates in higher education in areas of the city where football has an emotional connection with the citizens. And of course we want the partnership to benefit the current group of students working with our professionals within the club to help further their educational experiences. We are so pleased with this union and look forward to working in partnership together.”

The University of Portsmouth was rated ‘Gold’ in the UK government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and was ranked in the top 100 under 50 in the world according to the Times Higher Education rankings. The University is also in the UK top 40 in the Guardian’s 2018 league table and is ranked number one in the UK for boosting graduate salaries according to The Economist.

Delicious thinly sliced pork in Korean marinade

Sometimes you found a recipe and wrote it down on a piece of paper to try it out. Having done that, you forget where the recipe came from. Likewise this Korean recipe for pork, which turned out to be so delicious we have cooked it for everyone. The marinade is simple to make and yet really packed with flavours. For the Korean marinade you need  3 garlic cloves 1/2 brown onion 1/2 a pear or apple Blitz these ingredients together and then add 5 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman) 3 tablespoons caster sugar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 3 tablespoons mirin black pepper For dinner for 2 people, 200g pork tenderloin is enough. Slice this thinly, and bash it to an even thinner piece with a meat mallet. Marinade in the sauce and leave it in the fridge for an hour. Then heat a frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fry the thin pork pieces until browned. You want some of the edges of the meat to be dark brown and caramelised, if you can. Don't cook too many pieces or

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common.  The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common. The artists will unveil a new sculpture that responds to ten years of public demand to ‘bring back the Southsea Dinosaur’.  The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture. It will sit on top of a fossil Portland stone plinth with a QR code which when scanned with a smartphone will connect to an Augmented Reality experience. People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a digital
