University of Lincoln - Brayford Pool

Set against the backdrop of a beautiful and historic city, the University of Lincoln sits at the heart of it all on the picturesque Brayford Pool waterfront, with almost everything students will need either on campus or just a short walk away.

Established in 1996, the university has flourished into a diverse, internationally recognised university which welcomes thousands of students each year from around the world. In November 2023, the University of Lincoln was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize, the UK's highest award for universities, to recognise its work supporting the agri-food sector.

Throughout this exciting period of development, the university has been guided by a consistent set of principles which remain at the heart of its approach today: excellence in teaching, learning, and quality of student experience; responsiveness to the needs of communities and organisations; and working in partnership to make great things happen.
