English Literature and TESOL - BA (Hons)

Lincoln Bishop University

We have a beautiful, modest campus equipped with a fantastic library, refectory, coffee shop and Students Union bar. The buildings vary, some are ultra modern with all the touch screens you would expect in such a facility, and some are the most curious and quirky mazes which feel traditional. The teaching staff are exemplary - on this course (English Language with Teaching), we have such small class sizes (7-11) that we're almost getting one-on-one tuition; the tutors certainly give us as much attention and support as you could hope to want. I live off campus, so haven't partaken in much of the 'student life', however I felt incredibly special to be part of the Matriculation ceremony in Lincoln Cathedral, and have attended a number of events put on my the Chaplaincy (religion not required!), I've attended guest lectures and been offered the opportunity to take part in global seminars and discussions. We perhaps don't have so many societies as other Universities, which is the only slightly negative aspect, but Uni is what you make of it - and there is plenty for me to be involved with. I am a mature student, and I see a few others around the campus on occasion. However neither the tutors or my fellow students have been anything less than welcoming. I'm really pleased I chose to attend Lincoln Bishop University.

The university is very cozy, warm and welcoming environment. The staff are always very helpful and friendly, they all go above and beyond to ensure every students needs are met. Student wellbeing have been incredibly beneficial and supportive. My course is so fun and I love getting into campus knowing full well that I’m coming into a safe and encouraging classroom environment.

BGU is more like a community. There's a good bond between students and university staff. In terms of support, I'd say students are pampered like last borns.

While BGU is a smaller campus than most, it far outmatches them when it comes to 1-2-1 student support, and they are continually reviewing their programmes of study and updating curricula based on student feedback, which they are very active at responding to.

Excellent support from all my tutors. The library is fantastic and library staff are really knowledgeable. CELT staff have helped me in my academic writing and with my powerpoint poster presentation. More social get togethers and social events for mature students like myself would be beneficial.
