About University

The University of Lincoln is one of the UK’s leading institutions and is recognised internationally. Established in 1996, it is known for its stunning location at the heart of the Brayford Pool waterfront, where its main campus is based. The university is proud of its inclusive and diverse learning environment, now home to over 20,000 students from across the globe.
