One record matters more than any ranking when reading a university page: the Home Office register of student sponsors, which is what permits an institution to issue the CAS a student visa requires. University of Lincoln appears on it, and on the register that carries degree-awarding powers; this page sets out the institution’s subjects, entry requirements, fee arrangements and application steps.
01
What kind of university is Lincoln?
The University of Lincoln was founded in the city in 1996 and teaches on a single campus beside a water basin called Brayford Pool. Its engineering school was established jointly with an industrial company, and the course content is planned through that partnership.
Establishing an engineering school jointly with an industrial company is an arrangement with limited precedent in England: the curriculum and laboratory infrastructure are planned together and students work on projects connected to the production site.
Degree-awarding powers sit on the Office for Students register; the authority to issue the CAS a student visa requires sits on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors. The two registers are kept separately and both are recorded in the institution's own name.
02
Which subjects stand out at Lincoln?
Engineering and agricultural science are the institution's distinguishing fields; the agriculture programmes run in connection with the surrounding production region. Alongside them media, psychology, business, nursing and architecture carry long course lists at both levels.
- Engineering and Physical Sciences: mechanical, electrical, chemical engineering, physics.
- Agriculture and Food: agricultural science, food production, animal science, food supply chain.
- Arts and Media: film, journalism, game design, architecture, fine art.
- Health and Social Sciences: nursing, psychology, criminology, business.
The agriculture programmes are connected to Lincolnshire being one of the most intensive production regions in England and run at the institution's own research centre. Food supply chain management carries a separate title at postgraduate level.
03
What are the entry requirements at Lincoln?
The institution publishes no single Turkey-wide grade threshold; the qualifications accepted and the mark required are stated in the entry requirements section of each course page. A Turkish high school diploma is not sufficient on its own.
| Level | What is published |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate — with a school diploma | A-level, IB or another accepted equivalent qualification |
| Postgraduate | The grade required is published on each course page |
| English language | Published separately, course by course |
For an applicant holding a Turkish high school diploma the route is an accepted qualification such as A-level or the IB, or one of the foundation programmes. The English level a course asks for is published on the same page.
04
What are tuition fees at Lincoln?
The international fee varies by course and each course publishes the figure on its own page. The institution runs scholarships at undergraduate and postgraduate level; conditions and deadlines are listed on its funding pages by year of entry and by course.
Alongside tuition, living cost is the second large item. The maintenance funds a student visa asks you to show are set by region and come to £1,171 a month here; in London the same line is £1,529.
Postgraduate scholarships also run at department level and their deadlines close before the course's own. The UK scholarships page sets out the arrangement in general terms.

05
What is the campus and student life like in Lincoln?
The campus is gathered into a single area beside Brayford Pool adjoining the city centre; the library, studios, a sports centre and the students' building sit on the same site. The historic castle and cathedral are within walking distance and the station is next door.
Lincoln is a historic castle and cathedral city in the east of England, and because the campus adjoins the city centre daily travel is done on foot. The cost of living sits below the national average.
Accommodation is mostly in university halls in the first year; later on students move into rented housing around the campus. London is two hours away by train.
