Building on exceptional demand for its London-based Master’s programmes, the University of Hull is moving to a new London campus, expanding access to career-accelerating postgraduate education.
University of Hull London’s continued growth
Since its launch with partners Cambridge Education Group (CEG) in June 2024, the London Study Centre has enrolled more than 1700 students. This development will firmly establish the University as a key regional provider in the capital.
Fuelled by high demand for Logistics, Digital Marketing, AI and Business Management degrees aligned to the UK’s globally important finance and professional services industries, the centre has outgrown its Bloomsbury site.
A new campus, close to the City, is set to open in June 2026. The bespoke premises at the Olympic Park, Stratford will offer enhanced facilities, enabling further annual growth in student numbers. Part of the new East Bank cultural quarter, the campus will be co-located with national assets such as Sadler’s Wells, the V&A and BBC Music Studios and adjacent to Stratford International rail interchange.

This month over 300 Hull London graduates proudly received degrees alongside their counterparts at Hull graduation ceremonies.
“From day one, our shared ambition with Cambridge Education Group has been to create exceptional learning opportunities for international students in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
“The success of the London campus and the expansion to a new location in Stratford marks a significant milestone in that journey and reflects the outstanding demand for Hull’s programmes in London.
“The new London campus will allow us to build on that success, with improved study and social spaces and a purpose-built IT suite, and broaden this offer further, including the development of in-demand courses in AI and data science, leadership, management and technology that respond directly to sector demand and support our drive for sustainable economic growth.”
Cambridge Education Group CEO, David Johnston, said: “Cambridge Education Group welcomes the opportunity to expand our successful collaboration with the University of Hull. The growth of the London campus offers Master’s students an unrivalled opportunity to study in-demand programmes in the heart of the capital city, in a campus that offers the best of Hull in London.
“The continued success of the London campus further strengthens our relationship with the University of Hull.

Together, our complementary services enable students to receive a world-class education, supported by innovative teaching and comprehensive support services at key stages of their academic journey.
