Sort:Latest reviewsI've been part of a student society's committee for 3 years, and from that experience I can say that it's easy to see why they're rated one of the best student union's available in the country. There's so much that they offer from academic support, to housing, to activities and wellbeing support. Everyone I've interacted with at the student's union has been lovely and helpful no matter the question. There are also plenty of societies for everyone to enjoy! I had a slight issue in my first year with finding support from the right person but was fixed quickly by the staff and they were very nice about it :))
The SU is incredible - involved, organise different types of events, and genuinely make effort to hear the student's voices and take action. The campus is lovely with some incredible facilities and equipment. There is such a wide variety of resources and student support. The only change I would make is to make the campus greener - put more plants in!
Most of the lecturers are really nice and supportive. It needs more budget options for food and drink also more parking facilities where you can park 24/7 as a student. I think they should take complaints about staff more seriously. But the library is great and all the staff are really helpful.
There was an issue with student wellbeing where they told the person I was meeting about who reported them. Aside from that, the university has been great and student wellbeing did have multiple additional meetings with me and we're very quick sorting out the issue.
Great location right by everything and lots of resources readily available.
Its amazing location—5 minutes' walk from the train station—makes it great for commuting from other towns/cities. Tutors are caring and understanding. If you are being respectful to other people, then you will be treated with respect.
I Honeslty love how in Lincoln everything is close together and nothing too far apart there is student support everywhere and there’s so many places to eat at, study at and beautiful parks and there’s plenty of different societies that you can join too
Amazing university! Great tutors and support from student well-being.
i really like the faculty - all are really friendly and approachable
My experience as a student at Lincoln University has been great so far! Being from Lincoln means that it has been especially easy for me to adapt to a uni lifestyle and become comfortable very quickly. Any issues or queries I have had have been handled with quickly and professionally by the university staff. I am very happy at Lincoln and am looking forward to carry on with my studies.
A great small city Uni wear everything is easy to access and nearby. Such a great place to settle in and do your studies.
There was lots of support from lecturers and personal tutors during my course. I was also able to get lots of support for my ADHD too. It could probably be improved by more lessons about anatomy and physiology for my nursing course but other than that it was fine.
The University of Lincoln offers a brilliant balance of affordability and atmosphere. It’s budget-friendly, with plenty of things to do right on campus—from pop-up shops and pubs to quizzes and social events—so there’s always something happening. The city itself hits the sweet spot: big enough to be lively and full of character, but compact enough that you can easily get around without needing a car. What really sets Lincoln apart, though, is the staff—they genuinely care about your learning and go the extra mile to make sure you understand the material. While the University of Lincoln has its strengths, there are a few drawbacks worth noting. The Brayford waterfront, although not directly the university’s responsibility, isn’t being well maintained at the moment—which is unfortunate given its central location right next to campus. On the academic side, some seminar tutors seem under-resourced or stretched thin, possibly due to budget constraints. As a result, they don’t always provide the clarity or support students need, and in some cases, their teaching can make the material feel more confusing than it should be.
lovely campus, great views. amazing support system and very friendly lecturers. great city to live in, pretty much everything is walkable. overall, really nice place to be
Its a really central university with lots of opportunities available as well as a highly sought after careers area. They encourage achieving outside of university.
The uni is a great place to study as there’s lots of facilities around and the courses are great, the modules are very interesting. The campus is really nice right by the Brayford as it gives a scenic view. There’s lots of resources to use when in need. And the accommodations are a really good quality. You always have the opportunity to make friends through flats and societies as there are a range of them.
Absolutely amazing place, looks beautiful and so much support available. Everything is very accessible.

The support is great and they are very helpful although adjusting have been difficult and I still haven’t fully settled in but the student wellbeing center has been helping with that
The University of Lincoln offers a great balance of modern facilities, strong teaching, and a friendly, compact campus right in the city centre. The teaching quality is often praised, staff are supportive, and graduate outcomes are generally good. The campus is modern and scenic, and the cost of living in Lincoln is more affordable than in bigger cities. However, the university’s ranking sits mid-table in the UK, and the quality can vary quite a bit between courses. Some students have criticised the administration and international support, and accommodation can be pricey for what you get. Lincoln is a smaller city too, so nightlife and variety might feel limited for some.

The town is nice, it has a mix of modern and old with plenty of places to go to. There isn't close placement opportunities or experience for my course in ecology.
There is range of teaching level depending on which lecturer you have, but in the second year I'm having more opportunities to use my skills practically. This is a form of teaching I like. Sometimes lectures can be too fast and too much information.
It's a good price to be able to have your own kitchen in a studio room, it is close enough to my lectures the town is a bit further of a walk.
