In Lincoln there is the main Brayford Pool campus and the Lincoln School of Art & Design, Riseholme College is situated just north of the city centre, the Schools of Health & Social Care and Management are in Hull, and Holbeach (south Lincolnshire) houses the Specialist Food Technology and Food Manufacturing Centre.

We are committed to providing the support, guidance and facilities necessary for our students to get the most out of their postgraduate qualification, be it a taught programme of study or a more research-based model. There are many reasons to study here at Lincoln such as our comprehensive range of courses, an active research profile, excellent teaching quality, a dedicated Graduate School, modern facilities as well as a safe student-friendly city.

The Graduate School has been established to foster the development of all forms of postgraduate activity and to encourage the adoption of high standards and good practice in postgraduate teaching, learning, and research throughout the University.

History
The University of Lincoln has a long history stretching back to 1861 when the Hull School of Art was founded. The University’s Brayford Pool campus was officially opened by Her Majesty the Queen in October 1996 and in 2001 the University became the University of Lincoln, and began to expand its provision of postgraduate courses and increase the research opportunities available.

Facilities
Over the past decade, more than £100 million has been invested in the facilities and resources at the University’s main Brayford Pool campus, benefitting postgraduate study. This includes the development of the University Library, the Architecture School, Science Building, Performing Arts Centre and the Students’ Union Centre, the Engine Shed, which is the region’s largest live music venue. The University of Lincoln Sports Centre accommodates the needs of both students and staff, providing them with opportunities to participate in fitness classes and many sports-based activities.

Accommodation
The University’s student accommodation complex – the Lincoln Courts – is situated on the Brayford Pool campus, next to the main academic buildings and only a short walking distance from Lincoln city centre. The site offers a range of facilities and an enormous sense of student community, with more than 1000 student bedrooms.

Within easy walking distance of the University’s main Brayford Pool campus, there is also a range of university approved private developments offering student accommodation.
