The University of Hull is the fourteenth oldest university in England; as an internationally engaged, civic institution this strong history is paired with a vibrant and modern outlook. Our colleagues, students and partners have developed a renewed, ambitious and distinctive vision –to shape a fairer, brighter, carbon-neutral future for all. Our largest faculty (the Faculty of Health Sciences) aims to create a warm welcome to all those who study and work within our academic community. The atmosphere is collegial, supportive and committed to high academic standards. We enjoy a strong and rich relationship with our NHS partners founded on the premise that our students are their future healthcare workforce and as such are a vital and precious resource for society. On qualifying, many of our students move directly into employment with our partners and many senior roles in these organisations are filled by former students of the University of Hull. Staff within our Schools of Nursing and Midwifery and Paramedical, Peri-operative and Advanced Practice work together to deliver undergraduate, degree apprenticeships and postgraduate courses. The University is committed to social justice and widening participation in higher education and this means we place a strong emphasis on access to professional education, offering flexible routes into our programmes. We attract students from across the UK and internationally and work alongside our local schools, partner colleges and health and social care provider organisations to promote healthcare professional careers to our local communities.
