Postgraduate Opportunities

The University of Hull is a first class, research-led University. We support a wide range of core disciplines and a network of successful interdisciplinary research opportunities.

With grade 5 rated departments in politics, law, geography, history, music and English, we enjoy an international reputation for the quality of our research and expertise. The flight simulator and commercially viable liquid crystal displays are just two of the fruits of our labour, and good examples of our ‘real-world’ approach.

Whether you embark on a research degree, such as a PhD or MPhil, or follow a taught MA, MSc or MBA programme, as a postgraduate research student you are guaranteed access to first-rate facilities, including a dedicated building that is open round-the-clock, every day of the year.

Whilst we take our research obligations very seriously, we hope you will become fully involved in both the intellectual and social life of our community. We do everything we can to provide students with a rich and diverse experience, ensuring that your study is rewarding and enjoyable and that your research fruitful.

There is a real ‘friendly factor’ to life at Hull. Indeed, a few years ago, we were voted the UK’s friendliest university. Students are welcomed and supported from the day they arrive. Because we recognise the need to provide visible training and guidance, rather than leaving students to struggle in isolation, we have pioneered The Postgraduate Research Training Scheme. The Training Scheme aims to facilitate your research and encourage your personal and professional development giving you the confidence to start building relationships that we hope will continue long after your time here.
