Set against the backdrop of a beautiful and historic city, the University of Lincoln 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.

We are proud of what we have achieved since we were established in 1996, thanks to the contributions of everyone in our community. Our journey has seen us flourish into a diverse, internationally recognised university which welcomes thousands of students each year from around the world. In November 2023 we were awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, the UK’s highest award for universities, to recognise our work supporting the agri-food sector. 

Throughout this exciting period of development, we have been guided by a consistent set of principles which remain at the heart of our approach today: excellence in teaching, learning, and quality of student experience; responsiveness to the needs of communities and organisations; and working in partnership to make great things happen. To help us continue on this journey, we have developed an ambitious strategic plan, created collaboratively by staff and students across the University, with the aim of establishing ourselves as a UK top 40 institution.

Our City: The University was established first and foremost to benefit the lives of local people, and the city of Lincoln has grown alongside us. Lincoln has transformed from a former industrial town into a thriving regional centre with a vibrant cultural economy and active nightlife.

Our Campus: Our first building was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1996. Since then we have invested around £400 million in the campus and its facilities, creating modern learning and research spaces such as the Isaac Newton Building in 2017 and the Ross Lucas Medical Sciences Building in 2021.

Our Community: We are building a thriving community of thinkers, researchers, and professionals. As an institution we have grown from around 500 students in 1996, to over 15,000 students today with more than 120,000 graduates across the world.

It’s open seven days a week at key times during the academic year, so is available when you need it most.

Socialising and events – The Students’ Union runs a variety of events throughout the year and operates several major on-campus venues which are popular hotspots for students during the day and at night. For cosy quiz nights with your flatmates you’ll be heading to The Swan, while Towers has everything you’d expect from a bustling sports bar with big screens to watch major fixtures and an upstairs games zone to socialise in afterwards. There really is something for everyone to enjoy right here on campus.

Sports clubs and societies – Joining a sports club or society is a wonderful way to explore new interests or continue existing passions, all while socialising and improving your wellbeing. We particularly want sports to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone and have a range of both casual and competitive activities available – check out our Sports at Lincoln page to see for yourself. 

We’re with you all the way – We understand that leaving home, starting university, and embarking on your future career is a big step, but at Lincoln, it’s not one you have to take alone. From our support services to our Unibuddy platform, we aim to equip you with as much information and assurance as possible wherever you are in your student journey with us.
