Student review [#15893]
for Drama and Performance
at University of Lincoln
Lincoln, The United Kingdom
I absolutely adored my time at the University of Lincoln. From my first visit to the city for an open day I knew that the University was right for me due to its comforting and yet thriving vibe.
The University itself is constantly developing which is hugely exciting as a student. Throughout my 3 years there, multiple new buildings were erected meaning current courses had more specialised equipment and the university were able to offer new courses for students.
Something that makes Lincoln stand out against other universities is it’s staff. On my course, every lecturer was wholly dedicated to the students and we were encouraged to challenge ourselves and one another. This often led to whole seminar debates and our lecturers not only listened, but valued our opinions and ideas. It was always wonderful to be doing a final performance and to look into the crowd and see lots of the staff.
If you are looking to study Drama- Lincoln would be an amazing choice. Getting to see lots of shows at the LPAC for free and then getting to perform on the stage yourself is an incredible feeling. You are also able to tailor your course to what suits you. Since I left I know that they have altered the course slightly and introduced pathways but the course has always been very diverse. When I first joined, I thought I wanted to be an actor and being on stage was my passion. However, throughout my time at uni I learned how much I loved studying plays and writing an academic essay about them alongside directing.
The city itself it incredible too. It’s a beautiful mix of old and new and the perfect place for students as it has everything you need (including play one and bierkeller) but is small enough to feel familiar and homely.
I left uni with a wealth of experience- not only within my academic field but every aspect of my life. I was able to get a position as an assistant manager at a tutoring centre straight out of university and I believe that is due to the diversity of my course and how much the university supported me to grow as an individual.
