Enquire to study in the UK 
As England’s 14th-oldest university, University of Hull has come a long way in 90 years. And it is far from done — especially in its pursuit of academic excellence and inspiring life-changing research.
In its earliest days, UoH only had 39 students and 14 “one-person” departments. Today, that’s grown to more than 16,000 students and around 2,500 employees, including more than 1,000 academic staff. These researchers are setting standards globally through high-quality, internationally renowned research — putting UoH high up on global league tables. UoH ranks amongst the top 50 UK universities for research power, tackling some of the most important global issues – from health to habitats, from food to flooding, and from supply chains to slavery.
Beyond rankings, the university’s impact on the world is seen in the likes of PhD student Kuniko Paxton. Her research in artificial intelligence was ground-breaking, gaining recognition from the Alan Turing Institute-Roche Strategic Partnership, the national institute for data science and AI, with headquarters at the British Library.
Paxton is one of 10 distinguished PhD students to join the ranks of Turing-Roche Community Scholars. Her primary work is on skin detection as a case study, to investigate and identify potential biases linked to skin colour. Upon receiving her award, Paxton said: “I want to thank my supervisor, Dr. Koorosh Aslansefat, for his unwavering inspiration, innovative ideas, and continuous support. It has been an honour to collaborate with the Dependable Intelligent Systems research group, contribute to the Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Modelling’s initiatives, and be a part of research with significant ethical significance.”
Paxton is just one example of UoH’s researchers making a real difference to all our lives and tackling some of the planet’s greatest threats head-on.
At COY 18, the UN’s 18th climate Change Conference of Youth, an animation titled “River of Hope” was shared. The creation of youth and researchers at Hull, Newcastle, and Vietnam National University highlights the need to use creative story-telling and mixed media to initiate youth-led climate discussion and action in countries most impacted by climate change.
Dr. Lisa Jones, a Reader in Education at UoH and project lead, is proud that the film was able to evoke emotional responses beyond traditional fear and anger. “Our research recognises the inadequacy of assuming that merely providing information and facts is sufficient to mobilise individuals and communities,” she says. “Working in collaborative ways that span the social and environmental sciences as well as the arts and humanities, is essential for addressing the complexity of the climate crisis and its many injustices.”
Great research, greater people
If the above examples feed the head, then UoH’s global community will feed your heart. This is because here, you are a name, not a number. That’s the promise that UoH makes to every student. While there are thousands of students, every faculty member knows your name – not because they have to, but because you matter.
That means a lot as you’re not just a student in any regular university. UoH is awarded gold for teaching excellence — a reputation that’s great for drawing the world’s best minds from all over the world to Hull. The student body has over 100 countries represented.
All ages, all backgrounds, and all walks of life are welcome here. In this beautiful campus with switch facilities located in a festival-filled port city, you can be yourself. From day one, you’re welcomed, connected and supported — ensuring you get to make the most of your years at UoH. As Hull is also the most affordable city in the UK — cheaper than Leeds, Lincoln, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, London, and more — your dollars will go miles further here.
Make your mark on the world with UoH’s extensive offerings
Interested? UoH offers a wide range of life-changing programmes for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Here are six of their most popular programmes:
MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
Today, artificial intelligence can be found in almost every walk of life, from improving health diagnosis to creative tools for designers and artists. This degree prepares you to meet the global demand for skilled graduates who understand the full breadth of AI and what it can contribute to the world.
MSc Environmental Change, Management and Monitoring
For students looking to make a positive difference in the world, this one’s for you. This programme gets you ready for environmental consultancy, providing the know-how to tackle major global environmental issues from political and legal standpoints.
This programme is tailored for those who want to lessen the impact of climate change. You will study the current and predicted consequences of climate change on public health, and graduate with the specialist knowledge to research, produce and implement strategies for climate change mitigation.
By 2050, the number of people vulnerable to flood disasters will swell to two billion. This programme aims to produce experts who can help develop and deliver new approaches to flood risk management. Modules cover flood modelling, environmental sciences, hydrology, hydraulics, social sciences, policy, arts and humanities.
BSc (Hons) Environmental Science
You will specialise in specific ecological, chemical or physical aspects of the environment. Students choose their research project on a topic they love, supported by specialist modules.
BSc (Hons) Earth and Environmental Science
This BSc trains you to become sustainably-minded geoscientists. You learn how to build a fairer, sustainable, carbon-neutral future, as well as how to observe and analyse environmental processes. The best part? You will get down and dirty in the labs or treading soil in Spain – fully included in tuition fees.
