Global Week and Varsity round up
Last week saw the return of two highlights of the University calendar to campus - Global Week and Varsity.
Varsity 2022
Varsity returned to Portsmouth for the first time since 2019. Among the supporters who turned out to back Team UoP were students, staff, alumni, families and the local MP.

Another busy day of Global Celebrations at @portsmouthuni - I really enjoyed attending the Festival of Cultures exhibition taking place across the campus. It was great to see so many students representing their countries & sharing their cultures with fellow students & staff. pic.twitter.com/qCQorIN2L9
