University of Hull Placements

Students who choose University of Hull always come back telling the same story, how easy it was to land good part-time jobs and proper placements, even as international students. 

The university sits right in the middle of Yorkshire, surrounded by big employers like Siemens Gamesa, Reckitt, Smith & Nephew, and Cranswick Foods, all of whom visit the campus regularly for recruitment drives. Indian students, especially in Business, Engineering, Computing, Nursing, and Logistics, get picked up quickly because Hull has a dedicated Careers and Employability team that runs one-to-one CV sessions in Hindi and Punjabi when needed, and they actually phone companies on behalf of students to arrange interviews.

The best part is the guaranteed placement year option in almost every course. Students don’t have to hunt alone, Hull’s placement office has ready ties with over 2,000 UK companies, and they fix paid placements that pay £18,000-£25,000 for the year. Many Indian students from Punjab, Gujarat, and Telangana have done placements at NHS trusts, Rolls-Royce, KCOM, and even Amazon warehouses nearby, then converted those into graduate jobs because the employers already know them.

Living costs stay low (£800-£900 per month including rent), so whatever students earn from 20-hour part-time jobs at Costa, Tesco, or the on-campus library goes straight into their pockets. The university also runs free airport pickup, a buddy system with senior Indian students, and weekly job fairs where companies openly say they prefer Hull students because they are trained for real British workplaces. That’s why Overseas Education Consultants in India across North and South India quietly recommend Hull to families who want their child to study, work, save money, and come back with solid UK experience rather than just a degree certificate.
