The University's Brynmor Jones Library was the workplace of the poet Philip Larkin who served as its Head Librarian for thirty years. The Philip Larkin Society organises activities in remembrance of Larkin including the Larkin 25 festival which was organised during 2010 in partnership with the University. The Library was also the workplace of former poet laureate Andrew Motion and the late film director Anthony Minghella. Lord Wilberforce was chancellor of the University from 1978 until 1994. Robert Armstrong was chancellor from 1994 to 2006. Virginia Bottomley was installed as the current chancellor in April 2006.
Alumni of the University of Hull are prominent in the fields of academia, politics, journalism and drama. They include former MP and Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott of Kingston-upon-Hull (John Prescott), social scientist Lord Anthony Giddens, poet Roger McGough, author John McCarthy (journalist), politician and author Chris Mullin.
The original university coat of arms was designed by Sir Algernon Tudor-Craig in 1928. The symbols are the torch for learning, the rose for Yorkshire, the ducal coronet from the arms of the City of Hull, the fleur-de-lys for Lincolnshire and the dove, symbolising peace, from the arms of Thomas Ferens. These symbols have later been reused to create the modern university logo.
Until recently, there were two faculties, the 'Faculty of Applied Science & Technology' and the 'Faculty of Science & the Environment'. Notable facilities include HIVE (Hull Immersive Visualisation Environment). The chemistry department is noted for its research record as well as Hull's computer science and videogame developing degrees.
Most social science and law-related department housed in the refurbished Wilberforce Building. Includes the School of Arts and New Media at Scarborough, formed in August 2006. Drama is taught in the Gulbenkian Centre, including the Donald Roy Theatre. Music is in the Larkin Building.
Based in the Calder, Aire and Dearne buildings in the west campus (former campus of universities of Humberside, then finally Lincoln). The Leven building contains mock clinical areas, wards, an operating theatre and a midwifery suite, within a simulated environment.
The FHSC is running a new degree programe; BSc Global Health and Disease (International Health, Development and Humanitarian Relief).
Established in August 1999 it has 2,300 students at the Hull and Scarborough campuses. New £9m premises in 2005 on the West Campus. The Business School could be classed as one large department, but it is so large and cannot fit in another category, so it is a standalone faculty. It has seen an impressive number of developments recently and attracts a large number of international students. The new £9 million Logistics Institute was completed in September 2007 . The business school has both EQUIS and AMBA accreditations. It is important to note that there is also the Scarborough management centre in addition to the facilities on the Hull campus.
