Student life

Your course matters, but so does everything else — the fun, the people, the experiences!

Campus is buzzing with different social venues, from quiz nights at the pub, to big-screen match days in our sports bar. We’re even home to Lincoln’s largest live music venue – The Engine Shed.

Our Student Union makes it easy to meet people with a packed line up of events and activities, plus more than 120 clubs and societies you can join. 

Your uni HQ will be your accommodation. Our modern, award-winning rooms are steps from the city centre and right by the water - think poolside living and green spaces. 

Lincoln has been named most affordable student city in the UK but for extra cash you can find paid work on campus, or head into town to grab some shifts at a high street chain.  

You can also get expert advice from our specialist support services, whether that's on health and wellbeing, financial or personal matters, or planning your future.

What's it like to live in East Midlands?
Check out our region guide

The East Midlands comprises five counties, with its main cities being Derby, Leicester, Lincoln and Nottingham.

The region has plenty of history, boasting both the world’s first factory and its first pub (allegedly). It also has many castles, cathedrals and stately homes, including Chatsworth House, which has served as the backdrop to period films like Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice.

And, of course, you’ll find the gorgeous Peak District here. If you end up studying in the East Midlands, definitely make a trip to explore its rolling green hills, peatlands, and quaint market towns – like Buxton, the caverns of Castleton, and Bakewell (home of the famous tart).

    Pharmacy - MPharm
    Hi I’m Ellie and I’m a Second Year Pharmacy student. I will be at Lincoln for 3 more years and plan on becoming a pharmacist when I graduate. I did A Level Biology, Chemistry, Maths and EPQ and I am very familiar with the clearing process due to my A levels not going as expected so feel free to ask questions around this subject too! Clearing felt very daunting at first when things didn’t go as planned on results day, but the process was actually really easy and ended up finding the university that’s best for me. Everything was so quick and it really helped me to settle into university lifestyle. So yeah, any questions you have about this I’m happy to answer :)

    University of Lincoln
    Pharmacy - MPharm
    As a pharmacy student and gym enthusiast, my future plans revolve around integrating my passion for health and fitness with my pharmaceutical knowledge. I aim to specialize in sports pharmacy, focusing on supplements, performance enhancement, and injury recovery. My goal is to educate people on safe and effective medication and supplementation while promoting a balanced lifestyle. Additionally, I plan to continue my fitness journey, possibly pursuing certifications in nutrition or personal training to provide well-rounded health advice. By combining both fields, I hope to contribute to the healthcare industry in a way that supports both medical well-being and physical performance.

    I have just completed my first year as an Accountancy and Finance student at the University of Lincoln. I took a gap year before starting university in which I worked and travelled, whilst deciding what I wanted my future to look like! After university, I want to either train to be an accountant, or a teacher, possibly in maths, business or my degree area. I joined the University of Lincoln's Athletics society in September 2024, which has allowed me to make new friends, and take part in many social and competitive events. I ran my first 10k race in April 2025 with fellow society members! I live at home and commuted to campus during my first year. I either walked, drove or got the bus to university.
