The University of Hull began as a college of the University of London in 1928, achieving independence in 1954 – England's fourteenth university. The University offers the best of both worlds, with two Yorkshire campuses; the vibrant and friendly city of Hull, and the lively seaside resort of Scarborough. Both are surrounded by beautiful countryside.
