The University of Hull has two campuses– one in the large port city of Kingston-upon-Hull and one in Scarborough. Both are on the north-eastern coast a short distance from some of the most beautiful open countryside in the U.K. The city of Hull offers shopping, restaurants, cafes, theaters, pubs, concert halls, clubs, galleries, museums, and cinemas. And if that is not enough, there is also an opportunity to watch soccer, rugby, ice hockey, or speedway. Other activities include surfing, water skiing, rowing, cricket, and much more.
