About Us
Hull College, located in the heart of Kingston-upon-Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, is a prominent Further and Higher Education institution. At Hull College, we offer a wide range of vocational courses, apprenticeships, Higher Education, and adult learning programs. It caters to a diverse student body including young people, adults, and learners with high needs.
Hull College has embarked on a mission to overhaul its digital infrastructure and educational practices to better serve its diverse student body and local community. This is a broad, institution-wide initiative aimed at creating lasting and positive change. Our plan includes elements such as our ‘AI Academy,’ which has been a cornerstone of our digital transformation.
Our digital transformation journey is characterised by its holistic approach. We have implemented cutting-edge technologies and ensured that these advancements benefit all stakeholders, including students, staff, and local businesses. By focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, we have created a digital ecosystem that supports diverse learning needs and promotes equity.
“By focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, we have created a digital ecosystem that supports diverse learning needs and promotes equity.”
The emphasis remains on the quality of the teaching and supporting the lecturers’ knowledge and freedom to select appropriate systems and resources, rather than prescribing a particular pedagogy, technology, or learning system. This will be achieved whilst ensuring delivery is efficient as well as effective, maximising the use of resources and further improving value for money. Our aim is to develop a culture where ‘e-Learning’ is not considered a separate priority, but where technology seamlessly supports the tutor in selecting the most effective tool or resource for delivery and allows the student to access a wide range of resources at any time, in any place, and on any device.
Hull College has been recognised for its innovative approaches and successes in digital education, solidifying our reputation as a leader in educational innovation. We are proud to serve as a model for other institutions seeking to undertake similar transformations.
Both the College and members of staff have been recognized for their excellent work. Hull College has been rated a ‘Good’ Ofsted provider, with ‘Outstanding’ adult and personal development programmes. The College also won the Ethical EdTech Award in 2023 and was commended at the AoC Beacon Awards the same year.
