The University of Hull is a traditional university, founded in 1927, with a reputation for excellence in teaching and research. The University is known for being one of the friendliest in the UK. Study Abroad students become quickly attached to the University and think of Hull with the same fondness of their own university back home. This medium-sized university of approximately 14,000 students offers over 200 degree programs that provide a balanced education in the classroom and many enriching activities outside of the classroom as well.
TOP REASONS TO STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL
Exceptional graduate employability
Hull is consistently among the UK's top five universities for the employability of its graduates.
Outstanding teaching
Of those whose teaching has been assessed by the Quality Assurance Agency, nearly three-quarters of the academic departments have been awarded 21 marks or more, which has become widely accepted as the standard of excellence. As The Sunday Times recently observed: Such teaching success, across all disciplines, is a rare find.
A major research centre
In a recent Funding Council exercise, the research work of more than 70% of University academic staff was assessed as being of national excellence with evidence of international excellence.
Excellent academic facilities
University of Hull libraries contain over a million books and periodicals, and work closely with the Computer Centre and Language Institute to create a first-class environment for study.
Superb student union
Hull's Union is among the best-equipped and most successful in Britain. Hundreds of students represent their peers on University bodies across both campuses, and a "millennium makeover" will provide even more space in the Union's Hull Campus base for headline bands, theatre, dance, bars, restaurants, and other facilities.
Job Exchange
Within the student union is the Job Exchange, where students can gain employment advice and information regarding available employment opportunities. For more information and for current postings, click here.

An excellent Sports and Fitness Centre with adjacent sports grounds and floodit all-weather surfaces on the Hull Campus; a range of other outdoor pursuits (from climbing to mountain biking, not to mention the east coast's best surfing) from the Scarborough Campus.
Accommodation guarantee
Students who apply in good time are guaranteed a place in accommodation owned, managed, or arranged by the University.
An exciting and attractive environment
Hull and Scarborough provide all the social and cultural amenities you would expect of a vibrant modern city and its region's busiest resort, with the sea, the Wolds and the North York Moors for recreation, and direct links to continental Europe.
A cosmopolitan experience
University life is enriched by our international students from more than 100 countries and a growing number of mature students (from 21 to 70+).
Good student retention rates
Official figures place the University of Hull among the top five UK universities for completion rates. Very few students drop out, which reflects that Hull is among the UK's friendliest and most supportive universities.
