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, the Middleton Hall – hosting theatre productions, conferences and cinema screenings – and brand new £16million sports facilities. It’s also home to the award-winning on-campus nightclub, Asylum.

Close to campus, the vibrant Newland Avenue and Princes Avenue residential areas are popular with students and offers an eclectic selection of bars, coffee shops, eateries and boutiques.

Hull’s lively city centre also offers a broad range of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, theatres and clubs, as well as the picturesque marina.

Its annual Freedom Festival is a premier art, music and entertainment event, while trendy Humber Street in the city’s Old Town is a creative and cultural hub, filled with galleries, live music venues, markets, bars and eateries.

Hull is only a short train journey to bigger cities: Leeds (1 hour), Manchester (2 hours) and London (2 hours 40 minutes), and an hour from the stunning coastline and the beautiful seaside town of Scarborough.
