...course at the University of Hull has only been running for one year prior to the present academic year. As such, it is a baby by academic standards and this is often reflected in the content of the course. The course is based at the Scarborough campus of the university, which until September 2000 had been a lone affiliate college, but is now officially merged. Remember this if you apply for the course, as despite being a student of the University ...

The Centre for Internet Computing (CIC) is the newly-found department responsible for the course, and presently has four main lecturers along with a small number of support staff, who help out in practical sessions and take the occasional lecture. The course is modular and is comprised of four ...

Review of Hull University

...in my third year at Hull University reading Business. I choose this University imparticular because of the close proximity to home and the wide rang of degrees and modules on offer. I do not live in a rented house, it was that or a car and the car won! However, I have friends that do several have transferred from other uni's and say how much better the accommodation is in Hull and they are nice inside too! If you do commute I recommend buying a parking ...
...and from the university to Hull centre and to the Lawns, which is the university accommodation. Transport is cheap and even cheaper if you buy weekly passes. The business school has just under gone a multi million-pound refurbishment and looks fab! The three original business buildings have been merged into one with a contemporary look and feel. It provides many computer suites, many open until six, and the library on campus opens later, even at ...

Review of Hull University

I studied in Hull as a part-time mature student and had to leave after 2 years because my husband got retrenched from his job in Hull and we had to relocate elsewhere in England for his new job. I did a joint honours degree in Philosophy and Spanish. I can't speak for all or most of the professors who teach in the University itself, but I found most of the professors in my departments very nice, friendly, helpful and approachable. The University ...
...from that place. People in Hull especially don't really havae a problem with the Uni population there - everybody seems to get along with each other. The facilities in the Uni are generally okay. There's a Waterstones bookstore within the Uni's Student Services building, several cafeterias which stock pastries, buns, biscuits, tidbits... and one "restaurant" serving hot food. There's a rather good-sized stationary store which sells various stationary ...

Right from the minute I phoned them to ask them if they had places, they were extremely friendly and unbelievably helpful - I received several phone calls from the languages department. On arriving at the Lawns (the main halls of residence), there were loads of people everywhere guiding you to get your key and then to your hall and block. Aside ...

Private accommodation witin Hull has gone up slightly, now it costs about £40 a week (if you're lcuky that includes bills), but usually it's a good standard and if you were to have problems with it or the landlord, then you can also go and talk to the Advice centre (like Citizens Advice Bureau) at uni who'll help you out a lot. I've just realised how crap my initial op was...I didn't include hardly anything! So, here goes... Here at Hull ...

...semester at the University of Hull and what can I say other than, what happened to it? They say time flies when you are having fun, what they don't tell you is that it teleports direct when studying at Hull. The course I'm on is run by one of the best chemistry departments in the country and believe it or not, lectures are a lot of fun. Other departments, it is rumoured, are just as good (I don't go to their lectures though, so how can I judge). ...
...experience? The nightlife around Hull is great! LA's, the Waterfront, Tower (for an hour mind), the Rythym Room and PHd are just a few of the clubs that offer unbelievably cheap student nights, every week. Then there's the student union itself, voted one of the best in the country (2nd only to Cardiff I believe, but don't quote me on that, it is after all Cardiff!). Saturday night is Twisted (the only event with DJ Lionel Vinyl and Hull's only affro ...

Review of Hull University

...studied at the University of Hull both for his undergraduate and graduate degrees,whilst I spent one year doing a part time course in child psychology. There are many favourable things concerning this very friendly University in Yorkshire. First of all the campus is quite attractive and compact,so it is easy to get around.It is located in the very pleasant Cottingham Road part of the city. The cost of living in Hull is relatively low and I believe ...

During this period exciting work was taking place in the Chemistry Department with the discovery of liquid crystals by Professor George Gray and his team.The world famous poet,Philip Larkin,was the University Librarian.I should add that the library at Hull is a first class one. ...

Review of Hull University

Hull University has the best of all worlds. I spent one year there in 1993 as part of a teacher training degree, and lived in one of the houses (Thwaite) just outside Hull. The university itself is quite close to the city centre (10 min bus ride away) and is in a leafy area. The campus is small for a university, which is convenient as everything is close to hand. It has a good reputation, especially for mathematics and science orientated degrees. ...
...lacking in facilities - the sports hall is great. As is the student union. There is a well stocked computer centre, available for everyone to use, and an on-campus bank (but few shops). It has an extremely good library, the Philip Larkin library, named after the poet who was librarian there for many years. Spanning several floors, this is well stocked, especially in literature. There's a wide range of courses to choose from, and everyone seems ...

Lots of people never leave after going to uni there, so that says something about the place. Hull as a student is great - you won't regret going there and your bank balance certainly won't! ...

The University of Hull has been the best 4 months of my life. I'm in my first year at the University and love it! The University is rated top of the country in certain courses, with some of the best facilities around. It has the friendliest people, and the cheapest drinks. The city is lovely, with enought shops to satisfy the biggest shopaholics! As for fish...what fish?!?! Accommodation is particularly good, and cheap. There is a choice of on campus ...

Review of Hull University

...graduated from the Uni of Hull Scarborough Campus in 2003 having had a wicked 3 years. The Scarborough Campus has everything in one place, rather than some of the bigger uni's which are spread across town. If you are lucky enough to live on site you can simply roll out of bed and inot a lecture. If you live in town there are regular busses which arrive right outside the door. The bus drivers even give discount when you show your library card! The ...
...all rooted in Music Tech. The lecturers have really good subject knowledge and are very approachable. Unfortunately job prospects after the course within the subject area are quite slim unless you are ready to move to London. Even then it can prove difficult. I tried my hand at secondary teaching but due to the course being tech based, it didn't fit too well with the current curriculum. I must add that the food in the canteen is gorgeous, particularly ...

I have lived in Halls of Residence, a house rented through the University Head Leasing Service, and rented privately. The Halls were very good, especially on value for money, and a good way to make friends, but the food was quite poor, and recently there have been a lot of burglaries.

Review of Hull University

I would recommend Hull uni to everyone. The beer is cheap, accommodation is cheap (not always so cheerful)and there is plenty of Nightlife. The clubs range from from a cheesy night out (LA's on Carwash night -put on your Afro wigs and platforms)to Spiders on a Friday for those who prefer Alice Cooper to ABBA. If you just want extremely cheap beer, then The Tower or Oasis are the places for you. And not forgetting the Students Union, which had a ...

I suppose I should mention the University - its got loads of great students (although, unfortunately for me, there seem to be more males than females)and loads of social and sports clubs. The list ranges from the Cocsoc (Cocktail drinking society for those of you who were wondering) to the Fortean Society! You could also join the list of famous celebs who went there, and Philip Larkin, who was librarian there. So when ...

I loved every minute of my time in Hull. Forget the fact that it's windy and right on the edge of the country. The average rent is about £30 a week which is a bargain, and the drinks are ridiculously cheap, especially on each of the many student nights. The university staff and students are friendly, and the campus was one of the nicest I saw when I visited them when I was deciding which university to go to. The Princes Quay shopping mall and the ...

Go to the university where the entertainments are fantastic, the drinks are cheap, the rent is low and the people are friendly. Oh, and the university is one of the most highly rated in the country for a variety of subjects. Fish? What fish? ...
