A Student’s Guide to Courses, Campus, and Life in the City
Choosing a university isn't just about rankings and courses—it's about finding a place where you'll truly thrive. At Student Housing, we speak with Lincoln students every day, so here’s our insider look into what studying at the University of Lincoln is genuinely like.
Sure, Lincoln proudly holds a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and ranks within the UK's top 50 universities. But beyond the numbers, what do current students think?
“Honestly, the support and teaching quality here have exceeded all my expectations. Professors genuinely care about your success.” – Laura, English & Journalism student
Lincoln offers a diverse range of courses—here are a few favourites among current students:
Engineering and Computer Science – Students rave about Lincoln’s industry connections (especially with Siemens), hands-on labs, and practical modules.
Law and Business – With active engagement in real-world scenarios, mock trials, and internships, students gain valuable practical experience.
Arts, Media, and Design – Home to top-notch studios and the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre (LPAC), perfect for creatives.
“The placements in my engineering course gave me practical skills and networking opportunities—I feel career-ready already!” – Tom, Mechanical Engineering student
Lincoln’s Brayford Pool campus is the social and academic heart of student life:
Convenience: Everything—from lecture halls and the library to cafes and nightlife—is centrally located.
Community: A welcoming, vibrant student body ensures everyone finds their place quickly.
“Campus life is incredible—everything is a quick walk away. Plus, there’s always something happening by the waterfront.” – Hannah, Psychology student
One of Lincoln’s most attractive features is the city itself. Compact yet lively, Lincoln blends historic charm with modern student culture.
Affordable Living: Students often highlight how affordable Lincoln is compared to bigger cities—making budgeting less stressful.
Safety and Friendliness: Regularly praised for being safe and welcoming to new students.
“Lincoln feels like a big community—you quickly get to know everyone, and it's genuinely safe, which really helped when moving away from home.” – Sam, Criminology student
After halls, students typically choose homes in the West End or near Brayford campus for second and third years. These areas are ideally located near popular faculties like Engineering, Design, and Law.
At Student Housing, we specialise in these student-favourite locations. If you're looking for a house near the Isaac Newton Building or other campus hotspots, explore our Brayford Pool student homes here.
“Living in the West End was brilliant—so close to campus and nightlife. It definitely enhanced my uni experience!” – Josh, Graphic Design graduate
The short answer from students: Absolutely! From strong academics and exceptional support to a lively campus and great city life, Lincoln offers an all-round positive student experience.
