Hull College is a co-educational further education college based in Kingston upon Hull.
The college has recently introduced full-time provision for 14 to 16-year-olds. Most learners come from Kingston upon Hull. In 2015, it was reported that three quarters of learners aged 16 to 19 enrolled at the college without a GCSE grade C or above in English or mathematics. The college also manages a very large number of apprenticeships, based throughout the country, through its HCUK Training division.

Values and vision
Hull College prides itself on ensuring its students are prepared for life in modern Britain by developing their understanding of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and acceptance. For instance, students’ appreciation of democracy is developed through them learning about how they can influence decision making through democratic processes such as the national electoral system, local elections, or Students’ Union elections.
