Step-by-step guide to applying for study abroad

You can study at Hull for a semester for a full academic year (two semesters). Check with your home university about how long you can study with us. See our semester dates.

If your University has an agreement with the University of Hull, ask your University to contact us to inform us that you are interested in coming to Hull to study for one or two semesters.

If your home University does not have a formal agreement with the University of Hull, email your expression of interest to come and study at Hull to studyabroad@hull.ac.uk. Please give details of your home university, subjects studied, level of study and how long you would like to spend at the University of Hull.

You will need these documents for your online application:

• The formal Nomination from your home University (if applicable).
• A photocopy of your passport. An Identity Card may be acceptable for EU students.
• A transcript of your results achieved so far. Please provide a separate list of all of the courses you have taken in the past indicating the grades you have achieved.
• A letter of recommendation from an academic member of staff at your university. The letter should describe how the member of staff knows you, why you are suitable for the course, and confirm you are in good academic standing.
• Evidence you meet the English language requirements.

If you are an EU student you will need to provide a second letter from your study abroad exchange,Erasmus+ coordinator or an academic member of staff from your home university stating that your level of English is a minimum of B2. If you are a non-EU national and your first language is not English you will need to provide evidence of your English proficiency. See examples of accepted tests.

Once your nomination or expression of interest has been received, we will email you a link to an online application form and provided with further information about studying at the University of Hull.
