University of Hull - Scarborough Campus

Scarborough Campus

The University of Hull: Scarborough Campus is the satellite campus of the university located in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, attended by approximately 2,000 students. Formerly University College Scarborough, a higher education institution offering BSc and BA degrees, the building was acquired by the University of Hull in 2000. Scarborough Campus remains true to its teacher training roots by being best known for its Education courses, particularly at a primary level. Undergraduate degrees on offer also include Marine Biology, Music Technology, Theatre Studies, Tourism Management, and a number of Computer Science, Business and English courses.

Scarborough runs somewhat independently to the main campus in Hull, governed by its own branch of the Hull University Union. Being much smaller than the main campus, there are approximately 2,000 students attending courses at Scarborough per academic year, with graduation ceremonies taking place within Scarborough's historic Spa Complex. It is home to the newly-refurbished "Keith Donaldson Library", and "Calvino's" cafe and bar, which was refurbished in 2007, and reopened by The Bar Wizards of Britain's Got Talent fame. The campus also contains basic amenities for study, such as computer labs,performance studios for students of Theatre and Dance related courses as well as dedicated music suites in the "Filey Road Studios" building opposite the campus.

In recent years, efforts have been made to improve Scarborough students' accessibility to Hull's resources, such as the ability to request library books from Hull's much-larger Brynmor Jones Library, and a developing coach service between the two campuses.
