Career Degrees
Lincoln College University Centre’s Career Degrees offer students the chance to build on their existing qualifications with additional industry recognised qualifications and certificates.
We’ve designed our Career Degrees to focus on preparing graduates for employment in their chosen sector or industry by supporting the development of both academic knowledge and vocational skills.
We ensure our delivery is in small class sizes, allowing our students to receive more one-to-one time with their tutors, as well as engaging debates and collaborative working with fellow students.
With our condensed timetables, students may choose to work while studying, look after family or enjoy a better study-life balance.
Plus, our university-level students graduate in an annual ceremony held in and around the grounds of the historic Lincoln Cathedral.
Links to the individual course pages can be found at the bottom of this page or via the course search.
Our classes are smaller which means students can get more one-to-one time with their tutors, as well as with their fellow students.

We work in partnership with local and national businesses, so we know that our students are learning exactly what they need.

I chose this degree course mainly because I want to pursue a career in cybersecurity. I had offers from a few other universities but the staff and the quality of learning I would get by having the smaller group sizes at Lincoln College appealed more to me. Since I knew all the tutors beforehand it made the transition from Level 3 to BSc a lot easier to overcome.
I think the small class sizes alongside the friendly tutors enable for a very enjoyable learning environment which I believe is the most enjoyable aspect of the course.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions as they will become your best friend and time management will become crucial so keep a journal or something to plan your time.
When I first started doing the Level 3 Extended Diploma in photography, I never really had any intentions of doing any further courses. It was after speaking to the tutors I then decided to further my studies.
The course offers so much, the chance to be able to learn new skills and extended the ones you have as well as develop your own style/ area you want to go into with the support of the tutors.
If I’m honest, I loved every second even the times I felt like launching my textbooks out the window! I enjoyed the trips and being able to see new things and learn about the history of photography, read new books and being able to delve into different photographers’ work. I used to love studio days, it was a chance to develop/perfect skills and learn new techniques with the support of your tutor and the rest of the class, it became such a fun lesson, and everyone worked as a team and bounced ideas around to get the perfect final photo.
Everything I learned throughout the lessons gave me what I needed to create my final photos for the last brief of uni. I can also say after I graduated, I went on to be a self-employed photographer.
I had always wanted to be a violin maker from the age of 13. I asked the maker who I bought my viola from at age 13 what I had to do to become one and he told me that it was “no job for a young lady”! I then continued to get a music degree and went on to have a family because at the time I didn’t think to question him or that he might be wrong. It wasn’t until my husband was passing Newark College one day and picked up the paperwork that I applied. The rest is history!
I instantly felt that the other people who were on the course were just like me. It takes a certain sort of person to study lutherie I think! The tutors were all fantastic and I loved working with wood.
Go for it. Put in the hours, learn as much as you can from the tutors and your fellow students and make as many connections as you can.
Newark School of Violin Making is a jewel nestled away in the UK’s education system. Its reputation is world renowned and due to the passionate staff and wonderful teaching it must be preserved. I had a wonderful time and I hope it will always be there for subsequent generations of makers and restorers.
