Your Student Experience
At the PÕ¾ÊÓƵ, we aim to help you to achieve your full potential by providing an experience that is academically rigorous, creative, and engaging. We are proud of our reputation for providing a high-quality student experience underpinned by inspirational teaching.
University life is also about so much more than just studying. That’s why everything we do is geared towards giving you the best student experience possible, from our excellent support services which were ranked top 30 out of 130 UK universities in the National Student Survey 2024, to our vibrant Students' Union which provides a wealth of exciting opportunities to make friends and get involved.
Campus and Facilities
Set against the backdrop of a beautiful and historic city, the PÕ¾ÊÓƵ sits at the heart of it all on the picturesque Brayford Pool waterfront, with almost everything you’ll need either on campus or just a short walk away. Our selection of modern, university-managed accommodation options are also just a short walk from campus, and were recognised for excellence when we won the Halls and Student Accommodation category in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2024.
We’ve invested around £400 million in our Brayford Pool Campus over the last two decades to create the best possible learning environment and a strong foundation to help you achieve your goals. No matter which course you choose, we aim to provide you with high-quality facilities and the latest equipment.
The Lincoln Experience
You can gain so much more than a degree during your time at Lincoln – you can broaden your horizons, develop independence, and make lifelong friends and memories. Our Students’ Union puts you at the heart of student life at Lincoln. An independent organisation run on behalf of all PÕ¾ÊÓƵ students, it offers representation, support, and a range of exciting activities and events to help make your time here a truly unforgettable experience.
The University also has a growing number of agreements with universities and partner institutions in Europe and around the world offering study abroad programmes. An international experience can boost your academic and personal development and help you gain a whole range of new skills, from problem solving to learning a new language.
Socialising and Events
Life on campus is not all about studying. Here at Lincoln, there are plenty of activities and amenities for you to enjoy when you are taking a break from the books.
The Students’ Union runs events throughout the year and operates several major on-campus venues which are popular hotspots for students during the day and at night. These include Towers, The Swan, and The Engine Shed, which is one of the region’s largest live music and entertainment venues and has welcomed acts such as Kasabian, Paul Weller, Russell Howard, Joe Lycett, and Katherine Ryan.
When you are feeling peckish or want to grab a bite to eat with friends, you can visit one of the many different food and drink outlets on campus, offering everything from sandwiches and quick snacks to salads and hot meals.
