I came to Lincoln through clearing not having heard much about the university, and came with an open mind. I studied Biology and gained a diverse range of knowledge about the subject. Practicals were well organised and there was a lot of support available throughout the 3 years, especially for coursework and dissertation. There were opportunities to shape your own experience by choosing modules in the second and third year, and there was also the option of participating in overseas trips. I chose to take this opportunity to do some fieldwork in Africa and it remains one of my favourite experiences to date.
