Great Experience

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There's a certain sense of community that is special to the university. The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

Learning At Lincoln University

The University of Lincoln can be likened to a home of everyone. The diversity of students in the school gives a global experience within the small community and so you do not have to travel far and wide when you have the world around you. Studying at Lincoln exposes one to not just academic approach of life but also a rich blend of multicultural and global context of life. If you want to experience the world, come to the University of Lincoln.

Excellent study place

The approachable teachers and the facilities are top-notch. The majority of my studies were during COVID-19 so student life can't be assessed. Accommodations in Middlebrough are cheap and very affordable when compared to other places and other universities. The course modules were very helpful except for 3D interactive visualization which I really don't think is applicable as a data scientist and can be replaced with SQL instead.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
