University Overview
The University of Lincoln has roots going back to the Hull School of Art in 1861 and gained university status in 1992 as the University of Humberside. In 1996 it opened its Brayford Pool campus in Lincoln, the first new city-centre university campus built in the UK for several decades, and it adopted its current name in 2001. The waterfront campus sits in the heart of the historic cathedral city, with most student accommodation on site or close by.
The university has around 20,000 students and was awarded Gold overall in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework. It offers a broad range of subjects across arts, business and law, health, science and engineering. It is recognised for its work in agriculture and agri-food technology, supported by specialist facilities at Riseholme and at the National Centre for Food Manufacturing in Holbeach, and for its growing health provision, including Lincoln Medical School, established in partnership with the University of Nottingham.
Information for International Students
The University of Lincoln supports international applicants through its International Enquiries Team, which can be contacted by phone, online enquiry form and messaging services. A series of on-demand webinars covers applying for a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) and Student visa, accommodation, cost of living, part-time work and the Graduate visa for post-study work.
English language requirements typically range from IELTS 6.0 to 7.0 depending on the programme, and country-specific guidance on academic and language requirements is published for a wide range of countries.
The University of Lincoln International College offers degree preparation programmes for international students, including International Year One, a Pre-Master's programme leading to master's study, and Pre-sessional English and Academic Study Skills (PEASS) courses of five or ten weeks over the summer, depending on the student's IELTS score. Most university-managed accommodation is located on or near the Brayford Pool campus, and the university indicates a guaranteed room for new students, with early application encouraged because demand is high.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Lincoln is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Lincoln start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Lincoln may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
