The Brynmor Jones Library, long associated with poet and librarian Philip Larkin, is the principal campus library.

About 14,000 to 15,000 students are enrolled, including a substantial international intake. Staff number around 2,000. Alumni include film director Anthony Minghella and poet Roger McGough.

Graduate provision includes taught master's degrees, research master's, and the Ph.D. Supervision is by academic staff in schools, with a graduate school overseeing research degrees. The calendar is two semesters. Doctoral support commonly comes from research-council awards, university scholarships, and teaching assistantships. Hull is a Humber port city; graduate students live on or near Cottingham Road or in the city, which is smaller and less expensive than London or Manchester.
