Study a subject you love
Ready to focus on what lights you up? University gives you the opportunity to drill down and specialise. With expert tutors, up-to-the-minute facilities and a diverse range of courses. Even if you don’t know what you’d like to be at the end, uni is a great place to start.
Work towards a brighter future
Change the world, or change your world? University is your opportunity to do both. Whether you're motivated to get the career you've always dreamed of, or play your part in tackling global challenges for the benefit of humanity, this is where brighter futures become a reality.
Experience work experience
Is getting work experience while studying a good idea?
Absolutely.
Paid or unpaid, internships are a great way to get a foot in the door. Work placements and volunteering give you an insight into your career and its culture. It’s a savvy step on the career ladder.
Boost your employability and future earnings
University is more than just fun.
A degree seriously raises your job prospects and, yes, your earning potential. Graduates in the UK earn around 20% more over their lifetime than people without a degree,¹ with degrees in teaching and nursing being the most employable.²
Ready to restyle your lifestyle?
University is a place to feed the heart and the head. Somewhere to develop yourself personally, socially, academically. It’s where you find friends for life. Where you meet your crowd and develop interests you never knew you had.
Independent living and room to be you
Most say independent living is the best part of university life. Managing your own time and gaining life-long resilience are the biggest bonuses.

A glimpse of student life
When you’re not studying, there’s anything and everything else to do. Whether you’re a big foodie, love live music or want to lose yourself in culture or clubbing, it’s happening in Hull.
It’s your time to join a society, find your tribe and thrive.
Yes is more
University is unlike anywhere else. It's a place where you can explore the world and lay the foundations for a successful career all at the same time. A place where you say yes to every opportunity and do things you never dreamed of. It’s your key to a brilliant future.
Study in the four corners of the world
University is a great way to broaden your horizons as well as your mind. Through study abroad options, you can be anchored in the UK and still spend a summer course, a semester or a year at a partner university overseas.
Choose from Europe, Australia, Hong Kong and beyond. Gaining confidence, contacts and life-long memories.
State-of-the-art facilities
The best universities offer unrivalled labs and research centres so you can get to grips and up to speed with emerging equipment and technology. It's great preparation to hit the ground running in your first job.
And it's why we've made huge investments in up-to-the-minute facilities here at Hull.
Considering an apprenticeship?
Choosing between university and an apprenticeship is a big decision, but university offers more than a degree. It’s about personal growth, independence, and career opportunities.
Graduates often earn more and have better long-term prospects.4 University also helps you build a strong network, develop key skills, and enjoy an unforgettable experience. Many courses include a year in industry, giving you the best of both worlds. While apprenticeships suit some careers, university offers more flexibility, knowledge, and confidence to shape your future.
