The Law course was structured well and delivered by lecturers who had various backgrounds (academics and former practitioners). Feedback was given throughout the year and some modules were made so that a portion of the final grade was made up out of seminar contributions – this was beneficial as it encouraged student participation which made seminars more enjoyable.

There are a number of careers events and guest lectures, including excellent networking events organised by the Law Society at Lincoln. These have certainly helped me secure a training contract at a regional solicitor’s firm.

The Law School also offers a number of study abroad programmes, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying in Germany.

University days at Lincoln were full of books and combined study secessions and Friday nights out. All the university students were seen on different nights out and fun days most year but you would know when the exams are close and the end of term is near, a small group of students will be seen everywhere sharing notes and studying. Especially law students, we had so much to share and discuss always. the overall university had a very organised system and a very active student union like many other universities in England. all the lecturers were mostly available and communicated well with the students but then again I can only explain the law department and lecturers.
good old days

Set against the backdrop of Lincoln Cathedral, the University of Lincoln is a relatively new institution in a vibrant and historic city.

With everything in walking distance, the campus is extremely accessible and a night out never requires a taxi. A close community is formed among students across all years, creating a dynamic atmosphere that encourages development and character building.

Academically, the University of Lincoln is on the rise. New courses are on offer each year and the courses that are already established are taught by industry leaders and backed by a fantastic 24 hour library.

Communication between lecturers and students isn’t always great, however more proactive individuals won’t find this a problem. Due to relatively small seminars and lectures, I never had an issue meeting one-on-one with my tutors when I needed to. Everyone knew everyone and this really works in your favour as the exam and dissertation period looms.

There’s a wide variety of student housing available, and I’d definitely recommend connecting with people before you move in to break the ice ASAP. The prominent student area, West Parade, is a safe bet when it comes to finding a nice area that’s close to the centre and your course building.

Overall, the University of Lincoln is a close-knit community that nurtures academic and personal development in a truly lovely city that you’ll be excited to call home.
