About this course
At Hull, we put you – and your career – at the heart of everything we do.
You’ll learn in industry-standard facilities like our Bloomberg Suite. This offers real-time financial trading simulations – so you can practise in realistic scenarios before you go out there and do it for real.
And you’ll take part in projects and collaborations with businesses from day one so that by the time you graduate, you’ll be a confident and experienced business professional ready to take your next steps.
As part of our four-year course, you can gain valuable real-world experience – either through a built-in placement year, with students securing roles at organisations such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Centrica, or by spending a year studying abroad at one of our international partner universities.
You will even get a head start on the competition thanks to the independent accreditations our Business School holds, including AMBA and AACSB. These are held by fewer than 2% of the world’s 12,000 business programmes, which places us, and you, in an exclusive club.
Business as unusual
Foundation year
A foundation year at the University of Hull gives you a solid grounding of knowledge and boosts your academic skills, so you can progress on to your chosen programme with confidence.
The foundation course you enrol on may not be an exact match to your chosen degree, but don’t worry. Our foundation courses combine content from multiple related courses in the same subject area, giving you more flexibility and choice about the degree path you take.
For example, if you apply for a Music Foundation Year, you’ll join our Media Foundation course. So, if you decide to switch - say, from Music to Graphic Design - you can do so without restarting your foundation year.
Module options
Each year, you’ll study modules worth a certain number of credits, and you need 120 credits per year. Most modules are 20 credits – so you’ll study six modules each year. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more. In these cases, you’ll study fewer modules - but the number of credits will always add up to 120. Some modules are compulsory, some are optional, so you can build a course that’s right for you.
