Graduation at the University of Lincoln
The University of Lincoln has been named in the top 30 of the Times Higher Education “Table of Tables”.
The so-called Table of Tables, first produced in 2008, offers a snapshot of how the top-ranked 30 UK universities are viewed by national newspapers. It has placed Lincoln at 29th. The ranking is a direct result of the University’s success in this year’s Guardian University Guide 2019, which saw Lincoln positioned at 22nd of UK institutions.
The Table of Tables is based on the combined results of the UK’s three main domestic university league table rankings in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, The Guardian University Guide, and The Complete University Guide.
The table is calculated by awarding points which correspond to the institution’s position in league tables. The success builds on a ranking of 7th place in the National Student Survey 2018, which rates how satisfied students are with their university, and a rise to 42nd position in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019, as well as rise to 43rd position in the Complete University Guide 2019.
The University of Lincoln was awarded Gold in the UK’s national Teaching Excellence Framework in June 2017, for delivering "consistently outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for its students". The University was one of only 59 higher education providers out of almost 300 that entered into the TEF to receive Gold – the highest standard possible.
The TEF’s panel of experts found "students from all backgrounds… achieve outstanding outcomes" at Lincoln and praised its "comprehensive and embedded approach to student engagement that provides opportunities for students and staff to work closely together”.
Lincoln is a top 50 UK university with top rankings in several areas:
Students are consistently satisfied with quality of teaching:
Alongside world-class academic staff, students at Lincoln have the privilege of listening to inspirational talks from some of the finest thinkers across a variety of fields. Recent guest speakers include best-selling crime writer Ann Cleeves, the Astronomer Royal Professor Martin Rees and scientist Professor Robert Winston.
Lincoln is proud to be home to world-class researches, who are making profound contributions to their subject areas. From developing new medical technologies to preserving rare architectural treasures, the work of Lincoln’s academics and students makes a real difference to society. More than half of Lincoln’s research is rated as world-leading or internationally excellent according to the latest Research Excellence Framework.
For example, a research team led by Professor Nigel Allinson MBE, Distinguished Professor of Image Engineering in Lincoln’s School of Computer Science, is developing ground-breaking medical imaging technology to provide more effective radiotherapy treatment for thousands of cancer sufferers. Proton beam therapy has the potential to deliver high doses of radiation on a tumour site, with little radiation being absorbed in healthy tissue. It is particularly useful in treating cancer in children and tumours that are close to the body's vital structures such as in the head or near the spinal cord. The UK’s first proton therapy centres are due to open by 2020.
Professor Allinson’s research project, called PRaVDA, has produced the world’s first “proton CT scans” - a major step towards improving the quality and feasibility of Proton Therapy for cancer sufferers around the world.
The multi-national research project is funded by the Wellcome Trust and employs unique sensors developed in the University of Lincoln, along with detectors developed by the University of Liverpool and used in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
In 2015, a section of the PRaVDA instrument was selected for inclusion in the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s new show wall at its Savoy Place headquarters celebrating 100 engineering ideas that have changed the world.
Lincoln is one of only a handful of top universities to hold Global Principal Partner status with Siemens and is also a member of the Santander Universities Global Division.
The main campus at the University of Lincoln is located next to the picturesque Brayford Pool marina in the heart of the thriving city centre. Steeped in history, the city is home to one of the finest cathedrals in Europe, a medieval castle and an original of the 1215 Magna Carta. In fact, Lincoln is the only place in the world where the great charter can be seen side-by-side with an original of the 1217 Charter of the Forest. Lincoln is a safe, compact and friendly place to live and study. Everything students need, from bespoke accommodation, to shops, bars and restaurants, is just a short walk from campus. According to Student Travel Survey 2016, more than three quarters of Lincoln’s students come into campus on foot, one of the highest ratios of any institution in the country.
According to The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019, Lincoln is ranked among the top 5 cheapest Universities for the lowest cost of accommodation rooms.
Opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 1996, the University’s award-winning Brayford Pool Campus provides a modern, student-centred environment. More than £300 million has been invested in the campus facilities over the past two decades. Lincoln has won a string of awards over the years for its campus buildings, including accolades from RIBA and RICS for its Great Central Warehouse Library.
Within the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2018, the University of Lincoln was rated among the top 10 best UK universities for facilities.

There is also a Student Wellbeing Centre that provides a counselling service for those struggling with personal issues whilst studying alongside an on-campus Health Centre.
Extracurricular activities such as volunteering, work experience or contributing to student clubs and societies are formally recognised through The Lincoln Award, an initiative run jointly by the University and Students’ Union to help students develop their skills, knowledge and experience and stand out from the crowd to future employers.
Through the University’s Students’ Union, there is also an eclectic array of clubs and societies students can get involved in – spanning interests from Parkour to Harry Potter. Lincoln’s sports teams compete in British Universities & Colleges Sports (BUCS) competitions and have won several trophies in BUCS competitions over the past few years.

Many successful graduates return to Lincoln to share their knowledge with current students at a series of annual alumni networking events. The University’s ethos is to provide an education and experience which enables students to achieve the future they want, and to extend the relationship long beyond graduation.

The University of Lincoln prides itself on helping students achieve excellent career prospects, offering a number of different career services to help them prepare for their future. 96% of Lincoln's most recent graduates were in work or further study six months after finishing their course, with more than 80 per cent in graduate level roles according to the latest Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey. Lincoln graduates have secured jobs at major companies and organisations around the world, including the BBC, Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Boots, GlaxoSmithKline, PwC and Rockstar Games.
Lincoln graduates have worked on Hollywood blockbusters, from The Dark Knight to Despicable Me 2, and even provided the inspiration for Hollywood heavyweights. Jon Kilik, producer of the Hunger Games series, named Lincoln Media Production graduate Jack Howard as one of his inspirations in 2013. Jack and fellow Media Production graduate Thomas ‘TomSka’ Ridgewell are among the UK’s most successful YouTubers and were picked to join the roster of top vloggers on BBC Radio 1’s Internet Takeover. Lincoln alumni make an impression in politics too, with Martin Vickers and Andrea Jenkyns both winning seats as Members of Parliament in the UK General Election in May 2015.
Lincoln graduate Vicki Phillips was a winner in the prestigious British Council Alumni Awards 2017. The international awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of overseas graduates of British universities, and showcase the impact and value that a UK higher education experience has around the world. Vicki, who graduated from Lincoln in 2002, won the US award in the Social Impact category for her exceptional contribution to creating positive social change and improving the lives of others in America. She served as the Director of Education for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation where, alongside her team, she developed and executed the largest philanthropic investment in US education, worth over $2.8 billion.
