Pre-Departure Guide for International Students 2019/20 Congratulations on Choosing the University of Hull
Pre-departure guide for international students 2019/20 Congratulations on choosing the University of Hull I am delighted that you have chosen the University of Hull, and I am looking forward to you joining us in September. We are incredibly proud to welcome students from more than 100 countries to our university – this diversity, and making people feel included, is part of who we are. Students love our campus and all that it offers them. The word most commonly used to describe us is “friendly”, and I would absolutely echo that sentiment. The sense of community and pride here is palpable. Everywhere you look on campus there is evidence of our £300-million investment programme to help deliver the best possible student experience, teaching and research. As well as strengthening our student services and IT infrastructure, this includes brand-new accommodation on campus, our new health campus opened by Her Majesty The Queen, a concert and performance venue, and a new £16-million investment to enhance our sports facilities. We aim always to put our students first by creating a rich and varied platform for them to shine, and support them in achieving their goals and ambitions. Our students go on to transform lives and positively impact society – whether that’s in the arts, business, politics, law, teaching, healthcare or science and engineering. It is testament to their hard work and dedication, and that of my colleagues who support our students on that journey, that 97.9% of our international graduates progress into work or further study within six months of completing their studies here.† I wish you a safe journey to Hull, and I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful green campus in September.
