Our Higher Education Programme is business led and career-focused. Many of our courses have been designed in conjunction with our business and industry partners, ensuring you leave us with more than just a piece of paper - you'll have a clear pathway to a successful career.
Our Career Degrees are focused on preparing graduates for employment in their chosen sector or industry by supporting the development of both academic knowledge and vocational skills.
You will recieve a £500 Career Degree Bursary for every year of study. This enables you to enhance your main academic programme with additional qualifications, activities and experiences that are vocationally relevant and give you a competitive advantage over other graduates in the job market.
These include industry qualifications, professional accreditation, conferences, events and employer-led activities.
At the end of your studies, you will walk away with a degree and a raft of qualifications that will mean you have the competitive edge over students graduating from other higher education suppliers.
Our classes are smaller which means you get more one-to-one time with your tutor as well as engaging debates and conversations with your fellow students.
Find a degree courseOur condensed timetables mean you can work while studying, look after the kids or live a better study-life balance.
Most of the time your timetable will be split across a couple of days during the working week.
Find a degree courseA bursary of £500 per year of study will be available for you to spend on additional industry qualifications, professional accreditation, conferences, events and employer-led activities.
This will put you ahead of the game in interview.
Find a degree courseMany of our courses have been designed in partnership with businesses, so we know that the skills you are learning are exactly what you will need to find a job. All courses have high vocational relevance and links to industry so students can use their learning in real life situations.
Find a degree courseOur fees are lower than most universities and with the range of financial support available for higher education students, we can help you get your dream career without unmanageable debts.
Our full-time course fees are between £6,500 and £7,999 per academic year. This compares very favourably with the amount charged by most universities.
Part-time students are charged a proportion of the full-time fee according to how much they are studying, for example, a student taking half the study that a full-time student takes would be charged approximately half of the full-time fee.
Eligible students studying their first higher education funded course don't have to pay tuition fees upfront. Instead, Tuition Fee Loans are available to UK and EU residents.
These are repayable after you graduate or leave your course and earn over £25,000 a year.
There's lots more information on Student Finance on the UCAS website or you can click here.
Loans from the government are available for full-time students to assist with their living expenses. If you want to get the full Maintenance Loan, you will have to give details of your household income (your parents' or partner's income plus your own).
The maximum Maintenance Loan for new students starting from 1 September 2018 is:
The loan is paid directly into your bank account at the start of each term, 3 - 5 working days after you've enrolled on your course.
You may be eligible for additional support from us.
Career Degree Bursary
The Career Degree bursary must be spent on additional courses and activities offered to students each year. This package is available at the same amount, £500 for full-time students and £250 for part-time students, during each year of study. Students can choose from a wide range of qualifications, short courses and course-related activities as part of this offer. It cannot be substituted for cash, fee waiver or in-kind support funds.
Hardship Fund
Students that find themselves in financial hardship during the academic year can apply to the Access to Learning fund, which exists to support the retention of students. Both full-time and part-time students can apply to the fund. The level of an award is at the discretion of the College and subject to funds available.
Lincoln College Bursary for continuing students
A bursary of the following value will be made available to full time students on all courses:
This will take the form of either a sector related bonus (for example membership of an accrediting body) or a cash lump sum, whichever is opted for by the student. The bursary will be paid to the student by the end of January (following enrolment in September) provided the student remains enrolled with the College.
Your repayments are automatically deducted from your pay through the tax system.
These amounts below are repayable once you graduate or leave the course and earn more than £25,000 per year:
Annual income before tax | Monthly Income before tax | Monthly repayment |
---|---|---|
Up to £25,725 | £2,143 | £0 |
£27,000 | £2,250 | £9 |
£30,000 | £2,500 | £32 |
£35,000 | £2,916 | £69 |
£40,000 | £3,333 | £107 |

We offer a range of Higher Education qualifications at various levels.
Access courses
Access programmes are established nationally as an alternative to A level entry to degree and diploma programmes. They provide entry to a degree or diploma with no previous qualifications and provide grounding in the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully progress to a higher education course. We offer various ‘pathways’ that allow entry onto specific degree courses.
HNC (Higher National Certificate)
An HNC is ideal for anyone who wants an introduction to their chosen subject. Most students who choose to study for an HNC do so part time over two years while they continue to work. There is the option to do additional modules to progress to an HND, and from there to top up to a full Bachelors Degree.
HND (Higher National Diploma)
HNDs are available in a wide range of subjects – mainly vocational. HNC/HNDs are well known by employers so this will increase your employability. Entry requirements are generally lower than those needed for degrees. A full time HND will probably take 2 years but longer if it includes an industrial placement. There is the option to top-up to a full degree with further study, either at Lincoln College or other local universities.
Professional qualifications
The college offers several qualifications accredited by professional organisations, such as the ILM and AAT. These qualifications are designed with the needs of the profession in mind, and are often the only route into a given profession.
Foundation Degrees (FdSc & FdA)
These two year degree courses are a cheaper and faster alternative to traditional three year undergraduate courses. They combine the level of learning offered by a degree programme, with practical, commercial experience. Foundation degrees are particularly popular with employers for a number of reasons: they enhance the knowledge and skills of existing employees; increase productivity and competitiveness; change the skill set of existing employees; develop employees within the business and train new employees to learn their job quicker. Foundation degrees normally take two years if studied full time and are a valuable qualification in their own right. They can also be a stepping stone to undergraduate degrees and other studies. Foundation Degrees are awarded in Art (FdA) or Science (FdSc).
Degrees
The title of undergraduate degrees varies depending on the subject studied, from a BA (Bachelor of Arts) to a BSc (Bachelor of Science). Following completion of a first degree, some people progress to a postgraduate degree, either taught for example, an MA (Master of Arts) or a research programme, often called a doctorate, and awarded with a PhD or Doctor of Philosophy.
At Lincoln College you have the incredible advantage of a state-of-the-art gym with 40 training stations, squash and badminton courts, basketball courts, five-aside football pitches and an outdoor gym with training track all on-campus at Deans Sport and Leisure. We offer some of the best facilities in the city and they are all available to our students at a discounted rate.
If you need to unwind there's no better place to do it than our luxury spa with spa pool, steam rooms, ice bath and massage service.
And if you need to spruce up for the weekend you can pop in to our heavily-discounted hair and beauty salons.
Our refectories serve great hot and cold food options and we even have our own high-end restaurant where all of the food is prepared and served by our Catering and Hospitality students.
Our well stocked Library provides access to the books for your course, along with a collection of electronic resources including online academic journals to support you in your studies. Experienced Library staff are on hand to provide group and one to one study support for your research and study needs.
All of our university-level students graduate in an annual ceremony held in and around the ground of Lincoln Cathedral.
