Ten reasons to choose us...

1. Riding high

Exceptional teaching and learning is at the heart of what we do, borne out by recent Guardian and Sunday Times surveys placing us in the north of England's top 5, alongside a top 10 position in the National Student Survey and Times Higher Education's Student Experience Survey.

2. Just the job

An impressive 93% of Hull students find work or continue their studies after graduating, according to the latest figures - well above the national average. We achieve this by working closely with local employers and ensuring students have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to realize their goals.

3. Cutting edge

Hull has a proud record of innovation, from the pioneering development of liquid crystals to the creation of the bone density scanner. In fact, more than 80% of the research submitted to the last Research Assessment Exercise was rated as being of international standard.

4. Location, location

Students have the best of both worlds with superb locations in Hull and Scarborough, each boasting first-class facilities, a vibrant nightlife, great shopping and some wonderful locations right on the doorstep to explore and enjoy.

5. Building the future

The University is committed to providing students with first-class facilities and an ideal environment in which to live and learn, demonstrated by our multi-million pound investments at both Hull and Scarborough campuses.

6. A global outlook

With a population that features students from more than 130 countries, there's no doubting that we are one of the country's more cosmopolitan universities. And we are continuing to work with major institutions around the world to extend our global reach.

7. Crowning glory

Hull University Union sits at the heart of the University, providing the vital help and support for our student community. And ours has proved itself time and time again with a whole host of honours including a Gold SEUI award for its commitment to improving the student experience and the crowning glory that is the 2012 National Union of Students 'Students' Union of the Year'.

8. Right at home

We know that your time at university is about more than just your lectures - where you live, can be just as important, and often the most memorable. So we guarantee all new students a place in University -owned, -managed or -directed accommodation, which has been refurbished to the tune of £24 million.

9. It's the business

Working closely with business means we are at the cutting edge of latest practice. From being a partner organisation in Green port Hull with companies such as Siemens', to supporting the 'For Entrepreneurs Only' initiative', the University is at the forefront of business engagement.

10. Sporting life

From taking part in national competitions to supporting 45 well-established clubs, sport is taken very seriously at Hull. On campus you'll find excellent facilities in the recently refurbished Sport and Fitness Centre, which is open seven days a week.
