International College Portsmouth (ICP) is a private educational institution. It operates as a pathway college, offering foundation and pre-master’s programs designed to prepare international students for university study. ICP collaborates with the University of Portsmouth, a public university, but remains independently managed.
As a private entity, ICP relies on tuition fees rather than government funding. It focuses on providing tailored support for international students, including language and academic preparation. While it facilitates progression to the University of Portsmouth, ICP itself does not hold public university status.
