How our travel grant works

Whether you're coming to explore our beautiful campus, chat with our inspiring academics, or get a feel for student life in Hull, we want to make sure travel costs don’t stand in your way.

If you're travelling 40 miles or more to attend an Autumn Open Day, you could claim:

  • £25 for journeys of 40 - 79 miles
  • £50 for journeys of 80 - 149 miles
  • £100 for journeys of 150+ miles

This offer is available for our forthcoming open days on:

  • Saturday, 11 October, 2025
  • Saturday, 15 November, 2025

The travel fund amount is calculated by the University of Hull. The amount you can claim will be based on the shortest route from the registered home postcode on your booking form to our Cottingham Road campus (postcode HU6 7RX).
