University Centre Sparsholt

University Centre Sparsholt is the higher education arm of leading land-based college, Sparsholt College Hampshire and an associate college of the University of Portsmouth.

The University of Portsmouth and Sparsholt College, Hampshire, were delighted to announce the creation of ‘University Centre Sparsholt’ in December 2016. This is the new name for the College’s Higher Education programmes, which are validated by the University of Portsmouth.

Sparsholt College has been offering Higher Education since the late 1970s and has worked with the University of Portsmouth, its validating university, since the early 1980s. The designation of university centre allows the College to convey more clearly the quality and standards associated with these courses and differentiates them as university level programmes which was further consolidated by its achievement of a TEF Silver award in the summer.

The new designation reinforces the relationship between these two highly reputable institutions – Sparsholt as a leading institution for land-based education and the University of Portsmouth which has its own world-class ranking.
