When to arrive

Plan to arrive in time for Welcome Week which starts on 15 September 2025. If you are starting your studies in January or May, plan to arrive for our orientation.

During Welcome Week you will attend enrolment, as well as induction and orientation events for your course and university support services. There are also society and sports fairs held by Hull University Students’ Union.

Travelling to Hull

Arriving at UK airports

Hull is centrally located in the UK, with several international airports to choose from. Manchester, London Heathrow and London Gatwick have direct flights worldwide and have rail connections to Hull.

Our local airport, Humberside, is 30 minutes away by taxi, with most flights arriving via Amsterdam (Schiphol). You will need to book a taxi from Humberside to Hull (details below).

Book your air tickets as far in advance as possible for the best prices, once you have received your student visa.

Luggage

What to bring in your hand luggage

You will need to have the following to hand in case you are required to show them at immigration at the airport. Make sure not to pack them in your main luggage as you will not be allowed to collect your main luggage until you have passed through immigration control. You may wish to keep a photocopy of your documents in your main luggage.

What to pack

Pack light to make your journey smoother – remember that you’ll need to carry your own bags at airports and on connecting trains and coaches. Check your airline’s luggage weight allowance to avoid paying extra charges. You can buy items in shops in Hull or online once you arrive in the UK.

You may wish to bring:

Buying items in the UK

Once you arrive, you can buy bedroom, kitchen and bathroom essentials from supermarkets and retailers in Hull or order them online. UniKitOut also offers student starter kits for bedding and kitchen supplies.

If you are staying in campus accommodation, you can order items online and have them delivered up to one week before your arrival. Please do not order earlier, as the university does not provide storage.

Sending luggage in advance

If you are unable to bring all your personal items in your luggage, you can send luggage to your campus accommodation. Make sure your belongings arrive after you have arrived at your accommodation as there is no space for storing luggage at the university.

Your first week

Welcome week

At these orientations, you will experience your introduction to life at the University of Hull. Events will run that will help you navigate the University’s support systems, allow you to meet your course mates and lecturers, get to know the campus and begin to feel at home in Hull. Don’t forget to attend the society and sports fairs held by Hull University Students’ Union too.

Complete your face-to-face enrolment

You must complete the first part of your enrolment online before you leave your country and arrive in the UK. You will be invited to complete this in your MyHull Portal up to 28 days before the start of your course.

Once you arrive at Hull, you must visit our International Engagement and Compliance team (IECT) to complete your second part of your enrolment in your first week. You must complete both stages of enrolment no later than your latest course start date. You will need to bring:

  • Your passport
  • Your UKVI decision letter
  • A share code (this will begin with an 'S' ) - Visit the Gov.uk website to get a share code

Open a bank account

There is a wide choice of banks in the UK, and many have branches in Hull. Setting up a UK bank account may take a few weeks, so make sure you have access to funds you can use for your first few weeks in the UK to cover your initial expenses.

Many banks offer special offers for students, so do research online. Banks include: Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, NatWest, Santander, TSB, Nationwide, TSB, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Halifax. You may wish to choose a bank that has a branch in Hull, so you can visit them if you have any questions.

The documents required to setup an account vary from bank to bank. This may include:

  • Your passport
  • A 'bank letter' from the University confirming your registration, your home address in the UK and your overseas address – you can download a letter from the myHull website

Register with a doctor

You should register with a doctor’s surgery (known as General Practitioner or GP) shortly after arriving in Hull. Use the NHS search tool to find your nearest GP surgery and visit the NHS website for more information about how to register with a GP surgery.

When registering with your GP surgery, you may be asked to provide your passport details and a letter from the University of Hull confirming your enrolment at the University – you can download a Student Status letter on the myHull website.

Check the full entry requirements for your course

Our courses all have different entry requirements, so make sure you know exactly what’s required for the course you’re interested in before you start your application.

search

Don’t quite meet the requirements?

A foundation year provides an alternative route for those who don’t quite have the required UCAS points to start a full degree. It’s an extra year at the start of your studies, designed to build up your knowledge, confidence, and academic skills. We offer foundation years for around half our courses, with 80 UCAS points typically needed to receive an offer. But it’s not just about grades, we also consider your motivation, potential, and relevant life experience. 

2

Complete your UCAS application

Most students apply to university through the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). To do this, you’ll need to create an account through UCAS Hub. Once set up, look for the ‘Your application’ tile and press ‘Start’ to begin your application. You can save it and come back to it whenever you like – you don’t need to complete it all in one go. As part of your application, you’ll:

  • Choose up to five universities/courses. It costs £22 for one choice, and £28.50 for more than one.
  • Fill in a few basic details about yourself, plus information about your previous education and/or any employment history.
  • Write your personal statement – an important part of your application.

Attend an Applicant Day

While other universities may wait until making an offer to invite you back to campus, we believe in giving you all the information you need upfront – about your course, your lecturers, and the overall atmosphere – so you can make a well-informed decision without feeling rushed. That’s why we invite you to an Applicant Day.

They’re different to an Open Day and give you more focused insight into the course you’ve applied for at Hull. You’ll be able to attend taster lectures, speak to your course tutors, meet your future classmates, and much more.
