Today, our commitment to research is stronger than ever. The University of Hull ranks among the top 50 institutions in the UK for ‘research power’ (REF 2014) and our Research Institutes – focusing on health, slavery and emancipation, culture, logistics, the environment – work together to seek solutions for some of the biggest challenges facing the world. We are also undertaking cutting-edge interdisciplinary research within each of our four Faculties.
