Sort:Latest reviewsI had a great experience when I first joined, loving the campus and feeling very welcome. I enjoy most aspects of my course and think my tutors are available and helpful. The only aspect of my course I have struggled with was a result of bad advertisement from the Global Opportunities team- they haven't been massively useful. I also think that the uni could do with more societies.
A fantastic university nothing bad to say
Best= affordable and campus is close to town centre Worst = some time tabled events ( seminars/lectures ) get cancelled or moved with little notice)
Love the Uni of Lincoln. I’m a Law student, and have found that whilst there could potentially be more initiatives, and community fostering. The SU, the buildings, the campus are really nice and ideally located. Most of the societies and options are amazing. It’s such a lovely university.
All the staff are really friendly and always happy to help with work and any questions you may have, however sometimes some of the lectures can be confusing with lecturers not explaining things in the best way. I also love the location with it being central to the city and everything being in 15 minutes walking distance, there's also a wide variety of shops nearby. The facilities are good and the onsite maintenance team is always relatively fast at fixing any issues that I have experienced usually dealing with them the same day I report often only a hour or so after I report it, occasionally I have had to report things multiple times but they have been hasty to get it fixed
Best: Very clean, accessible and accommodating Worst: There is always a very significant bottle neck at any change over period for the majority of my lectures, there are not enough exits from the building and too many narrows spaces in between. This is very stressful
In my experience the University are very supportive, the library is a great space and the campus is so cute. The campus is right next to the city centre where there’s so many food and shopping outlets. The accommodation is pretty good, although night life options are limited. The city feels very close and homely, it’s quite small but very pretty. Timetabling could be more thought out, and the Wellbeing centre aren’t always the best but there are many reasonable adjustments in place for lectures and seminars anyway and the lecturers and tutors are very welcoming and helpful. Campus is small and easy to access everything, and there is a lot of choice in accommodation. Overall I would definitely recommend the University, I’ve loved my experience here and made friends for life!
Helpful staff that supports you with everything you need. Situated on a nice looking campus on the side of a lake in the heart of the city
I love it here! Such a lovely campus with amazing facilities and first class student support.

I feel as though my lecturers have a genuine passion for their subject, which is always great to see and rubs off on the students, making the sessions exciting. The design facilities are brilliant and the studios are packed with equipment. The general look of the university isn’t anything special, but the inside of the buildings are clean and equipped.
The location and student life is great,
The campus is modern and kept clean, all the lecture halls are walking distance from the accommodations and right next to the main city. The students Union shows all sports matches with high quality food and good discounts for students with indoor and outdoor seating. There is great support for students including a wellbeing and advice centre as well as constant emails about careers events and general support during your time in Lincoln.
UoL, geographically, is located in an incredible location, with a sleek and modern campus. The campus feels high-tech, safe and well-maintained. Facilities are easy to access and communicate effectively between each other. However, budget cuts have left the university in a state of disarray, where it feels like support is getting less and less each year. This is especially problematic regarding wellbeing and entire subjects being axed, notably languages.
As a first-year student at the University of Lincoln, I can confidently say that my transition into university life has been smoother and more rewarding than I had anticipated. Despite only being at the beginning of my academic journey, I already feel a strong sense of belonging within the university community. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome, supported and encouraged to get involved in both academic and extracurricular activities, all of which have made a positive impact on my overall experience so far. One of the key strengths of the university is the high level of academic support provided to students. Starting university can be difficult, especially when adjusting to a new style of learning that relies heavily on independent study. However, I have found that the lecturers and academic staff at Lincoln are genuinely invested in helping students succeed. Whenever I’ve had questions or concerns about my modules, assessments or workload, I’ve been able to reach out and receive clear, helpful guidance. In addition to direct support from staff, the university offers a wide range of learning resources. I’ve found the online learning platforms incredibly useful for accessing lecture slides, seminar materials and recommended readings. The university library - both the physical space and its online portal - has been a valuable tool in supporting my independent study. I can easily search academic databases, borrow materials, and attend study skills workshops that help me develop research and writing techniques essential to success at this level. Having so many resources available makes studying more manageable and more effective. Another major advantage of studying at the University of Lincoln is the diverse range of opportunities available to students outside the classroom. From study abroad schemes and field trips related to my course, to a wide variety of societies and placement options, the university encourages students to make the most of their time here. These experiences are not only enjoyable but are also essential in preparing us for future careers, helping us gain real-world skills, expand our networks and apply what we learn in real life. I particularly appreciate that many of these opportunities are accessible from the first year, giving students the chance to start building their CVs and professional experience early on. One thing that has really stood out to me is the emphasis placed on community. Whether it’s through events organised by the Students’ Union or simply through the way courses are structured to encourage collaboration, it’s easy to meet people and feel like you’re part of something bigger. The campus itself is very welcoming and compact with something always happening, whether it's academic support events, well-being activities or social gatherings. One aspect that I found slightly challenging during my first few weeks was navigating the different services and knowing exactly where to go for help. While the information is available, it can sometimes feel overwhelming or unclear, especially when balancing multiple new responsibilities. A more detailed induction programme or a single digital hub that clearly outlines where to find support for different needs — whether academic, personal or career-related, would make the initial adjustment period less confusing. In summary, my experience at the University of Lincoln so far has been positive. The academic support is strong, the resources are accessible and the sense of community is genuine. I feel that I am already growing as a learner and as an individual, and I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
I think there should be access to pianos for non-music students to practice during breaks, as I commute i find it hard to get my practice in the day, but i have been denied access multiple times to use the on campus pianos
I think the most important thing that makes it a great place to study here is the modern campus, the educators, and the friendly people. Also, Lincoln is a vibrant city, and since the university is right in the center, everything is at your fingertips. More importantly for me, the education at Lincoln is both theoretical and practical.

Lincoln is the perfect student city, with everything you could need within walking distance, including the Uni. The lecturers are friendly and supportive. Above average student accommodation. Library and student pubs on campus. Would recommend my University experience. Only downside is some student accommodation is a bit expensive, and student union could be a bit more supportive.
Lincoln is small but is part of it's charm! The campus is pretty with great modern facilities. There are many societies which are very active helping students create a sense of community. Many of my friends have joined different societies every year and enjoyed making new friends and having new experiences. I had the opportunity to study abroad through the university which was a LIFE changing experience. The staff seem to genuinely care about student wellbeing, especially receptive when you reach out needing help. The university should do a better job of informing students of all the resources available to them as some resources I am just finding out about in my 4th year.

During my first month at the university, my experience was full of new acquaintances, learning and finding opportunities for personal and professional development. In my opinion, one of the best aspects is the supportive and inspiring learning environment. The lecturers are true professionals in their field, always ready to help, give advice or constructive feedback. The university also provides excellent resources for learning. For example the modern library, where I often spend time, re-reading lectures and taking notes. It is a space where it is easy to concentrate and prepare for seminars. I also appreciate the opportunity to communicate with people from different cultures, with different experiences and views - it is inspiring and broadens my outlook. Overall, I am very happy with my choice. The University of Lincoln is a great place to study, develop yourself and prepare for your future career.
One of the best aspects of studying International Business Management at the University of Lincoln is how globally focused the course is. The modules cover a wide range of topics, from principles of Marketing and the International Busieness Professional to Economics and Organisational Behaviour, which helps build a strong understanding of how businesses operate internationally. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and approachable, always encouraging discussions and in class quizzes to practice what you’ve just learned. I also appreciate the balance between theory and real-world application through case studies and group projects. In terms of improvement, sometimes the workload can feel quite intense, especially when multiple deadlines fall close together. Overall, the course is engaging, well-structured, and provides valuable skills for a future career in the world of international business and prepares you to be a professional in the field.
