PhD Practice Portfolio in Health and Social Care

University of Lincoln

The facilities and lecturers are excellent and offer the ability to learn and thrive. The University can be let down by long support waiting times sometimes spanning weeks for a reply. I especially appreciate the time and passion of the teachers and feel that they have elevated my confidence to a level where I now believe I am able to achieve great results. The location is fantastic with picturesque views of historic Lincoln and easy access to many shops and eateries. Parking is always an issue however, this is not necessarily the universities responsibility. The lecture rooms are mostly good, however there are occasions where the room booking is not quite right for the size of the class and occasionally a small room will be booked where there are not enough chairs for everyone. Overall Lincoln University has been a positive experience where the learning (the part that matters) far outweighs any of the negatives.

Lecturers are knowledgable, approachable and available. The university. is situated in the picturesque City of Lincoln with lots of places to visit and social aspects are great. The Brayford Pool is clean and has an ultimate feeling of safety and diversity. As a mature student I feel very at home here whenever I am on site.

Worst aspect is the travel and the cost of parking as students cannot park onsite. Best is the support of the lecturers and the knowledge of the subjects being taught.

Chairs are uncomfortable for stilling in for long periods of time in the lecture rooms. There are a lack of power points for laptop use for the day.

I have done a previous degree at another university and I would 1000% recommend Uni of Lincoln to anyone. The support, location, and facilities are outstanding and far superior to my previous university
