History

The University of Hull was founded in 1927 – originally as University College Hull – thanks to a financial gift of £250,000 and a donation of land from local philanthropist and entrepreneur, Thomas Ferens.

The following year the Duke of York, later King George VI, laid the foundation stone during a prestigious ceremony. It opened it's doors to around 39 students, 16 academics, two assistant teachers, and admin staff. They've come a long way since then.
