Doctoral College

The Doctoral College provides dedicated support to postgraduate research students, to supplement the discipline-specific provision you receive from your subject. Offering skills development opportunities, dedicated facilities and our pioneering Postgraduate Training Scheme, the School is here to help you achieve your potential throughout your research degree.

Postgraduate research

Today, our commitment to research is stronger than ever. The University of Hull ranks among the top 50 institutions in the UK for ‘research impact’ (REF 2021) and our seven research institutes – focusing on health, slavery and emancipation, culture, logistics, the environment, the sea and risk – work together to seek solutions for some of the biggest challenges facing the world.

This interdisciplinary ethos frees academics from conventional approaches and provides a framework for discovery that offers exciting opportunities for students, enriching your academic experience and enhancing your career prospects.


Training and development opportunities

Here in the Doctoral College, we offer a supportive and vibrant postgraduate research community where you will benefit from training and development to supplement your subject-specific study. In addition to our unique Postgraduate Training Scheme, we offer drop-in sessions, workshops, master classes, webinars and much more to support and enhance your learning.
