TEAM GB PARTNERSHIP Extraordinary is in you. And we’ll help you find it.

We believe there’s a spark of extraordinary in everyone. But we also know that extraordinary doesn’t just happen. It takes your hard work and determination, our support and inspiration, and then you too can let it shine.

This is what our partnership with Team GB is built on. Our united belief is that anyone, with the right opportunities ahead and a dedicated team behind, can achieve extraordinary things.

Our shared mission is to show this to the world. Because extraordinary can be a record-breaking, gold-medal-winning performance in front of millions, or simply being the first to talk in a roomful of strangers. We see it in everyone.

It’s speaking out against injustice, trusting your conscience. Making changes to your own life to help make the world a better place. Chasing your personal best, getting your highest mark yet and still pushing for higher, still beating yourself. Still meeting people from around the world for the first time. Learning what their lives are like, then ending up friends for life. hull.ac.uk/TeamGB It’s life-changing. It’s knowing that here, you matter – no matter where you’ve #FindYourExtraordinary come from. Here, you can achieve whatever you want to, go wherever it takes you, conquer heights, imagine sights others can’t see. It’s that indescribable feeling that tells you: here is where I’m meant to be.

Extraordinary is happening right now. On fields and tracks, in lectures and laboratories. In boxing rings and workshops and studios and surgeries. On the next street, in the heart of our city, even next door. It’s in you. So what are you waiting for?

Imagine it. A summer in Sweden, a trimester in Australia, a whole year in the US … we can make it real. Sarah Birt, BA American Studies graduate, made the most of her time in Arizona. As she tells us … “I was browsing through prospectuses and saw that Hull ran an American Studies programme which sounded really interesting, so I decided to attend an Open Day. It was at the Open Day that I really thought ‘wow, this is for me’. The American Studies department staff were really friendly; I met some super-enthusiastic students and the whole University just gave off a really inclusive, friendly vibe. This really stood out to me as a sign that Hull was the place to go. “American Studies is a fairly specific subject, so I chose Hull initially because their choice of partner universities in America is unrivalled, and the support I received in sorting out my American year was great. “My year abroad is a definite highlight. Getting to go to Arizona and experience life there was amazing, as was all the travelling I did whilst in America. I even met Bernie Sanders.

For a city of moderate size, Hull’s had quite the influence on the country’s – even the world’s – history over the years. There was the refusal to allow King Charles I entry to the city in 1642, which was one of the spark points for the English Civil War. The women of Hull’s fishing community, whose fervour and fury at the poor safety conditions their menfolk faced at sea rippled all the way to Westminster and brought about an act of Parliament. The 19th-century Eastern European emigrants – stopping off here while seeking passage to New York – who took a shine to Hull and ended up sticking around, enriching the city’s cosmopolitan feel. Amy Johnson, the woman from Hull who became a pilot and rewrote the record books, not to mention redrawing the gender landscape. And of course, William Wilberforce: the Hull MP who campaigned for more than 20 years to abolish the UK’s slave trade. Whichever way you slice it, this is an historically relevant location.

Most of our Marine Biology students opt to take the Dive Training module (but it’s also available on our Biology and Zoology courses too). The module trains you from novice level to Open Water and then to Advanced Open Water Diver*. In classroom sessions, you’ll learn about safe diving practice, equipment, good techniques, diving and the law, and scientific diving. You’ll then perfect your skills in the pool with professional instructors. Once you’re ready, you’ll put all that training into practice in the open water.

On the field trip, you’ll complete dives on pristine coral reefs in crystal-clear waters while they continue their scientific diver training – working together to collect data using transects, quadrats, observation and cameras. Back on shore, we’ll teach you how to develop a scientific dive plan and how to collate and present your data. We encourage you to continue your training – developing your experience so that you can qualify as a European Scientific Diver (someone who has the training and experience to be part of a scientific diving team). Our graduates may use their qualifications professionally (as scientists, divemasters or dive instructors) or may just choose to continue to enjoy diving on vacation. Either way, they leave with amazing memories of their experiences at Hull – and have something on their CV that helps them to stand out from the crowd.

Creativity lives and breathes at the University of Hull. Always has done, always will. It’s central to what universities do. But at Hull, we’re trying to build something that lasts. Something that inspires our students long into the future. Introducing Creative Industries,* our brand-new degree for career-driven creatives. Did you know the creative industries contribute £100bn a year to the UK economy? Or that they employ over 2 million people across the country?† With a degree in Creative Industries, you’ll emerge as a confident professional with an enviable portfolio, ready for a career in the arts. You’ll gain a strong grounding in business and digital know-how, including leadership, marketing, presenting, event planning and project management. And you’ll explore critical issues in the arts like health, well-being and ‘culturepreneurship’. At the same time, you’ll push your creative and practical skills in your chosen specialism: Game Design (page 63), Media Production (page 61), Music (page 111), Music Production (page 111), or Theatre Production (page 49). That could mean experimenting with virtual reality. Or performing in our world-class concert venue. Or mixing your own tracks in professional standard recording studios. Then you’ll get to put your skills to the test in the real world. Co-producing, auditioning, shadowing, coaching, negotiating and more with the likes of Hull Truck, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Solid State Logic, Screen Yorkshire, and Absolutely Cultured. And in your final year, you’ll complete a major project alongside others from across the arts, as a springboard into your future career.

With almost three million active players, football is the country’s leading female team sport. But gender stereotypes which insist ‘football’s not for girls’ just won’t take the hint – stifling encouragement to play and blocking routes to getting involved. By the time they’re 10, 95% of boys are playing some form of football. Girls the same age? Only 41%.* But people like Hull graduate Amber Amey are gradually levelling the playing field. She was named a ‘Higher Education Hero’ by British Universities and Colleges Sport for her contribution to getting women and girls involved in football. Amber’s been working with our Sport Development Team to increase female participation in football across age groups. She’s also led a community programme to support the girls’ game in schools. That’s created a pathway to the SSE Wildcats sessions in Hull – regular opportunities for girls to play after school and at weekends. When she started her course, Amber had no specific career plan. Now, armed with a first-class degree in Sport Rehabilitation, she’s already worked with Doncaster Rovers and Hull FC. She’s been on tour with academy rugby league scholars and enjoyed a three-week stint coaching “ Studying at Hull has provided football to kids in Ghana. me with opportunities to work with so many different people and organisations.

WORK PLACEMENTS I’ll be leaving uni, and Jaguar Land Rover, as a business-woman

I’m Emily, and I worked in Global Product Marketing at Jaguar Land Rover for my placement year. To get a placement with such a big, well-known company was absolutely fantastic. I’ve learnt so much, and it’s given me a completely different outlook.

My personal highlight was attending a customer clinic, where you invite all potential customers so you can improve the car for the next generation. It’s going to be really exciting when, in a few years, I’ll be able to look at a brochure and think – I did that!”
