Fairer Future Global Scholarship

The University of Hull is committed to seeking a fairer, brighter, carbon neutral future for all.

Our values are reflected within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a strategy for peace and prosperity for the people and the planet, which is underpinned by the work that the University of Hull provides.

Our commitment to these goals has inspired our portfolio of Fairer Future Global Scholarships, which offer outstanding undergraduate students the opportunity to study a world-changing degree with a 50% tuition fee discount.

Our links to the Sustainable Development Goals

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals focus on a variety of challenges that our global community faces and these Goals are embedded across our subject areas.

Our students learn to:

  • Support Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions across our Criminology, Law and Politics subjects
  • Understand the need for Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production through subjects such as Financial Management and Environmental Science
  • Support Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being in our Sports Science and Psychology subjects

Whatever subject you study at the University of Hull, the core principles of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are encapsulated within your teaching.
