Lincoln Bishop University is very small, which may not be ideal for some people, but I prefer things quaint, so this was the perfect place. My lecturers have been available for support almost 24/7 (they aren't required to be, they just go above and beyond for their students!). The library is small, like the university, but it has endless online access to academic resources and (a literal) 24/7 computer suite for any late night/early morning studies. Campus staff have been so helpful during my time here, even in trivial matters like tracking down a lost water bottle for me (something you probably won't find at bigger universities!). My Theology course has had an endless supply of module topics, deepening my academic understanding - even for things I had studied previously. My lectures have been so crucial for my understanding, able (and willing) to explain and re-explain if any student isn't quite grasping the subject (very useful in our philosophy module!). Assignments (graded) are very balanced, majority are written essays, but some are multi-media (e.g. presentation on chosen subject coupled with an essay evaluation on your presentation). I admit that I struggled with this concept at first because I prefer writing assignments and couldn't see the value in being graded on a PowerPoint; however , with aspirations to be a lecturer myself one day, being given the opportunity to make palatable, valuable presentations has given me a head start to teaching others. Another early assignment we were given was to produce a research project proposal, which enabled us to understand what was expected from us in our dissertation proposals (as well as going forward into higher degrees). The campus has a designated learning facility for anyone who is struggling with their assignments, or perhaps feels embarrassed to talk to their lecturers directly - I went here myself for advice about an assignment brief (I didn't want to ask my lecturer because then they would've known that I left it until the last minute!). The campus is also very open about mental health and has pages around campus and on the university website titled "wellbeing", which includes helpful guides on how to manage specific feelings and even breathing exercises. They also have a "student in crisis" page with information and contacts to crisis lines, as well as 24/7 on-site crisis staff. I am a student with access needs, and all staff have been incredibly helpful and understanding about that as well as checking in with me about if/how my condition has changed. My time at Lincoln Bishop has been exceptional overall and I cannot recommend it enough. Lincoln is a historically rich, beautiful city and Lincoln Bishop University is equally such.

All of our lectures were in person, none were scheduled to be online. However, as someone who had many hospital appointments to attend, my lecturers were incredibly helpful in allowing me to listen online so I didn't miss anything.

Lincoln is a beautiful, historic city; I always felt it is reminiscent of York, but smaller and less chaotic!

This university is perfect for anyone wanting to study education, but also anyone who would like to attend a smaller university. Being at the top of the hill means it is quieter, while still having easy access to the city. The smaller cohorts mean that each student gets better access to tutors and lecturers as well as any necessary resources

The course is well very done, we cover a broad amount of topics with different lecturers though they have changed a lot due to lower funding. All my lectures are in person, generally we get set reading between each one and spend time in lectures to discuss what we have learned and debate between ourselves
