Description : Kingston upon Hull, usually just called 'Hull,' is the UK City of Culture of 2017. This is due in no small part to the numerous museums and historical sites found around the city. English is the main language of the United Kingdom, making it an easy transition for English-speakers. The port city of Kingston upon Hull is home to the University of Hull, an excellent institution whose course catalog is offered entirely in English. UNO sends and receives students from the University of Hull through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.
