Life in Hull

There's a real sense of community and heritage at the University of Hull, which is the 14^th oldest university in England.

At the heart of the University’s £28million health campus sits the award winning Allam Medical Building, home to Hull York Medical School in Hull. Officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, the building is an aspirational teaching and learning environment where you will interact with other healthcare professionals in training, including nursing, physician associate and midwifery students.

The University has also had a huge investment in the Brynmor Jones Library, Middleton Hall – host to theatre productions, conferences and cinema screenings – and £16 million sports facilities. It’s also home to the on-campus nightclub and gig venue, Asylum, which has welcomed shows by acts from Self Esteem to Swiftogeddon.

Close to campus, the vibrant Newland Avenue and Princes Avenue residential areas are offer an eclectic selection of bars, coffee shops, and boutiques.

Hull’s lively city centre is home to a broad range of shops - from major brands to quirky independents  - restaurants to suit every palate, cafés, cocktail bars, real ale breweries, theatres and clubs, and the picturesque marina.

The annual Freedom Festival is a premier art, music and entertainment event, while trendy Humber Street at the heart of the city's former fruit market is a creative and cultural hub, filled with galleries, live music venues, markets, bars and eateries.

Hull is only a short train journey to other cities. You can visit  Leeds in an hour, Manchester in two and a train journey to London will take less than three hours. Hull is only an hour from the stunning coastline and the beautiful seaside town of Scarborough too.
