Speakers at Association meetings have included Sir Leon Brittan, Ken Livingstone MP and Enoch Powell. We are part of an institution which the Daily Telegraph described as the 'friendly University'. Founded in 1927, it occupies an attractive and compact campus which has allowed for extensive, modern development without damage to its pleasant environment. The result is a tree-lined campus, which unifies academic, leisure and recreational facilities in a blend of old with new. Hull itself is a spacious city with one of the lowest costs of living in Britain and with all the cultural, sporting and social activities you would expect from the twelfth largest city in the country.
Academic results are good and our graduates occupy a range of important positions in society.
Staff and students alike take pride in their Department. The Department offers an extremely wide range of degree choices. Each application to study politics at Hull is given careful consideration. Wherever possible, applicants should thus emphasise on their UCAS forms positions of responsibility held, activity in any school or civic societies, and particular interests and pursuits. The Open Day provides an opportunity for applicants to meet members of staff, find out more about the Department and the University, and to talk to politics undergraduates.
