Accessing systems

To log in to most systems you'll need to use your University of Hull email address and password that you will have been provided with. This is a single sign on (SSO) method that uses Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to quickly confirm your identity and protect your data.

You’ll be prompted to set up MFA when you first log in, and you will use these methods every time you access our systems, ensuring better protection for your information.

If you need more information about logging in, setting up MFA, or you have locked yourself out of your account, our main IT webpage has the information you need.

More to explore

There’s a lot to love on our campus. You’ll find everything you need to live, work and play – all in one place. When you arrive, have a stroll around your new home, take in our beautiful listed buildings and green spaces, and see all of the great places we have for you to study and socialise.

  • Where’s good to eat?

    You’re spoiled for choice on campus. We’ve got three Costas, a Wetherspoons and numerous cafės including our mean canteen in Canham Turner called The Pantry. Plus, there’s a mini-supermarket (Spar) and our very own nightclub, Asylum, both located in the Students’ Union.

  • Enjoy the views from the library

    You’ll be spending plenty of time here working throughout your degree, but to start with we recommend heading to the seventh floor and enjoying the stunning views across your new home.

  • Sport and leisure

    We’ve invested £17 million in our sports and gym facilities on campus. Head to the Allam Sport Centre to take a look and sign up.

  • Clubs and societies

    The Hull University Students’ Union runs over 80 societies and 50 sports clubs for our students. Whatever your interests – and whoever your crowd – you’ll find something for you here. It’s not all partying if that’s not your scene, but joining a club or society is a great way to make friends and socialise when you first get here.

City of Hull

We’re sure you know a bit about Hull already. We’re the most affordable city in the UK* – so your money will go miles further here – and we’ve got the mix of big ticket attractions, culture and hidden gems you’d expect from any student city.

But to help you get out and start discovering your new favourite places at the start of term, we’ve asked some of our current students to share their favourite places in and around our great city…

Emily and Jenny are Master’s students studying Criminology and Theatre Making. Dane is a History grad and Hayley is in the final year of her Computer Science degree.

You can also take a look at our YouTube playlist and discover the real Hull or check out our Getting to Know Hull module on MyJourney for more top tips.

Café Gelato! It’s one of my most loved restaurants, jam-packed with a wide selection of gelato, coffees, tea, crepes, waffles, giant slices of cake and more!

A personal favourite is The Deep. It’s an amazing aquarium home to sharks, turtles, fish, penguins. Plus if you buy a ticket you can go back for free for the next 12 months!

Students at Stage at the Dock on Humber Street

My favourite place by far is Level. It’s very close to all the accommodation and they do a really nice burger there. Or head to Humber Street, there’s tons of good places.

Students shopping in Hepworths Arcade, Hull city centre

Paragon Arcade is one of my must sees in Hull. It’s a hidden gem in the city centre, especially if you like independent shops. It’s a really cool spot.

Best place for something different

Humber Bridge

Hessle Foreshore is a great trip! Walk along the Humber Bridge or around Humber Bridge Country Park if you like the countryside. It’s lovely.

Best places on a budget

Planet Coffee, Newland Avenue

Newland Avenue. It’s 10 minutes from campus and is a bustling spot of chilled cafés and venues. I’ll wander to the bakeries, grab a croissant and do charity shop hauls.
