Hi @Bexsterrh22

We have an Athletics Club at the university.

We are a competitive club that is open to anyone: whether you are a novice, who would like to give new events a try or an established athlete, who would like to develop their events with professional coaches; everyone is welcome to join us on the track (or field)! Unlike other clubs, we all train together, so there is a very strong team atmosphere right from the start. The club is all about the motto ‘work hard, play hard’ and will do its best to provide enjoyable training programmes and really fun socials for all of its members. So, if you are looking for a fantastic experience and the chance to meet life-long friends, then Hull University Athletics Club is definitely for you!

Hello @Bexsterrh22

Just to add on what Emily has said, I am a member of the Athletics team. Last semester we would have a track session and a fitness session every week run by a coach.

Let me know if there are any further questions!

Hi, i’ve just received an unconditional offer from hull uni doing criminology with forensic science, but i’m currently in full time work and plan to work part time alongside university.
What are the class timetables like? How many days a week are you actually at university?

Hi @mykyeeh

Congratulations on your offer.

It really depends on the number of contact hours you have per a module ( 3 modules per trimester) and how timetabling put together your schedule for each Trimester.
You will typically have scheduled teaching hours for Lectures, possibly Seminars, Tutorials, Labs / Workshops etc.
These can be scheduled Monday - Friday between 9am and 6pm usually.
The timetable usually gets released a couple of weeks before the beginning of the trimester (September & January).
Every student does however have Wednesday afternoons off timetable to facilitate participation in activities such as sports, societies etc and it is up to you as a student as to how you use your Wednesday afternoon.

If you haven't already, I would advise signing up to attend one of our Applicant experience days which you should have received an invite for. You will be able to get a further understanding of how many contact hours are scheduled for each module

Alternatively, you can chat with one of our current Criminology students via our Ask a Student page on the website, who might be able to give you an idea as to how many hours of teaching they had on their timetable for some of their modules - https://www.hull.ac.uk/study/ask-a-student

Hope this helps

Hi yomboje

I did just post this on another thread, but you can find key dates here on the website https://www.hull.ac.uk/choose-hull/study-at-hull/need-to-know/key-dates . I wouldn't use this thread as it doesn't get used often as it is from 2021!

Good luck
