Welcome to the Scarborough Campus of the University of Hull

Our Open Day is designed to help you to make the right choices for the future – and especially to discover whether this university is right for you.

Please use your visit to speak to our academic and support staff and to get answers to all of your questions. We want you to go away with a better understanding of the degree courses that we offer, the ethos of the University and the special campus environment that we have created in Scarborough. On hand throughout the day will be our Student Events Team, who you will be able to chat with to find out about their own experiences of being a student at Scarborough.

We pride ourselves on putting students at the heart of everything that we do – and on providing all the intellectual stimulation and practical support that you need to realise your academic potential. We aim to give you a personalised university experience, and you will be able to enjoy a taste of this at the Open Day.

I look forward to welcoming you to the campus on Saturday.

Profiles

Course: Second year, Primary Teaching

Home town: Doncaster

Name: Steph Moseley

Course: Second year, Educational Studies

Home town: Scarborough

Hints and Tips: Talk to as many people as possible: they will all have something different to say. And engage with the ambassadors – we care about the campus; find out why.

Campus Investment

The University is continually investing in the Scarborough Campus to improve and enhance the student experience. In the past three years, there has been approximately £4 million spent on the campus, which has been led, in the majority, by student feedback. Examples of this investment, which you will see on your visit, are detailed below.

Waves: our existing campus restaurant was redesigned and replaced with Waves restaurant, providing much-improved catering options.

The Keith Donaldson Library underwent a refurbishment in 2010 and has quickly become the heart of the campus, where students can come for a single interface point.

Cayley Hall has recently undergone a major refurbishment of the rooms and supporting infrastructure. Work is also ongoing to raise the standard of the University-managed sector, so that students have the option of good quality on-campus and off-campus accommodation.

Sports: investment in the campus is ongoing, and this summer we are developing a floodlit third-generation multi-use games area and building a new outdoor changing block.
