Life at Lincoln

One of the world’s great historic cities, Lincoln is renowned for its fusion of old and new. The winning combination of a welcoming and vibrant city centre and a historic Cathedral Quarter, both offering a rich variety of attractions, activities, and amenities, makes Lincoln a fantastic place in which to live and study.

The University’s campus is based at the heart of it all. Located on the picturesque Brayford Pool waterfront, it provides a modern student-centred community with almost everything you’ll need either on campus or a short walk away. Studying at Lincoln Our buildings blend modern and innovative learning spaces with social spaces for group work and collaboration. This ethos was reflected in the national Teaching Excellence Framework, where the University was commended for its

“outstanding physical and digital resources which pervade all aspects of student experience, including state-of-the-art teaching spaces”.

Central to student life on campus is the University’s Great Central Warehouse Library, which provides access to more than 200,000 journals and 600,000 print and electronic books, as well as databases and specialist collections. The library is open 24/7 for the majority of the academic year.

Lincoln was named one of Britain’s 20 Best Cities in 2017 by The Telegraph. According to the Eden Project’s Big Lunch programme 2016 and those who live here, Lincoln is the friendliest place in the UK.

Exploring Lincoln and Beyond There are plenty of places and events to keep you entertained while at Lincoln. The city boasts a range of museums and public art galleries, giving visitors the chance to explore and experience both local and national culture. There is a lively programme of theatre events in the city’s New Theatre Royal, Drill Hall, and Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, and a variety of festivals are hosted in the city, including the Frequency Festival of Digital Culture, Lincoln Book Festival, and the Indie-Lincs international film festival.

Step back in time and take a walk along the city’s famous cobbled Steep Hill, which provides the gateway to the city’s historic Cathedral Quarter and Bailgate area. Thousands of tourists flock to the city each year to visit Lincoln Castle, which is home to one of only four surviving originals of the 1215 Magna Carta.

Watching over the city, Lincoln Cathedral is one of Europe’s most celebrated medieval buildings, providing the stunning setting for the University’s graduation ceremonies.

The wider county has plenty to offer as well. The city is surrounded by beautiful countryside, ready to be explored through country walks and cycle routes. You can find quaint market towns, stunning scenery, and fascinating heritage. A visit to one of Lincolnshire’s seaside resorts is a great way to spend a sunny day with friends. How to Get Here Situated in the East Midlands region of England, Lincoln’s central location allows for quick and easy access to London and a number of other major cities, including Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Leicester, and Hull. London’s King’s Cross Station is around two hours away by train, and a number of airports are within easy reach, providing direct links to locations around the world. 22 23

Pioneering Research

At Lincoln, students have the chance to learn from, and engage in, pioneering research projects alongside academics who are changing lives through groundbreaking studies. Many of our courses offer opportunities for students to develop their research skills and gain hands-on experience in a variety of contexts and settings. As well as working on projects in high-quality facilities and specialist research spaces on campus, students may be able to carry out research during work placements or on fieldwork assignments. Engaging with research is an important way of broadening skill sets, such as developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and can help students gain relevant experience that can be expanded upon during further study or in industry settings.

Research Excellence Framework. Improving Cancer Outcomes Lincoln’s internationally renowned expert in image engineering, Professor Nigel Allinson MBE, has developed #WeAreLincoln new medical technology that could revolutionise cancer treatment. The £3.3 million OPTIma (Optimising Proton Therapy through Imaging) project is being funded by the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. One of the most complex medical imaging systems ever developed, the technology is making it possible to provide more effective radiotherapy treatment, using protons rather than X-rays to create more accurate three-dimensional images of a patient’s anatomy. The dose of radiation can be controlled more precisely, and cancers located near vital organs, which may have been previously untreatable, can now be targeted.

Breaking Records with Biomechanics Cutting-edge motion capture technology in the University of Lincoln’s Human Performance Centre is helping to make the impossible possible. It uses biomechanical variables to alter complex, real-world movement patterns to improve athletic performance. Using the technology to assess human- equipment interaction, sport scientists are able to inform the design of specialist equipment tailored to individual athletes, enabling them to overcome their limitations. British athlete Kelda Wood became the first para-rower to row solo across the Atlantic with the help of Lincoln’s biomechanics experts.

Tackling the Rural Digital Divide Liz Price, Dr Fiona Ashmore, and a team of economic development specialists at the University of Lincoln are part of the international CORA (Connecting Remote Areas with digital infrastructure) project examining the rural digital divide. The project team is working to uncover and understand the barriers to digital inclusivity, and seeks to find potential solutions to change the status quo, helping to address the pressing need to stimulate digital infrastructure, services, and skills in rural areas. Their findings will be developed to provide briefings to policymakers both in the UK and the EU, influencing the digital strategies and broadband technology policies of the future. 26 27
