Hundreds of students and proud friends and family attended Lincoln College’s annual graduation ceremony held at the historic Lincoln Cathedral on Oct 4, 2022.
The new graduates and their families then joined local dignitaries, prominent employers and college staff for a graduation reception at The Drill to continue the celebrations.
Students received their degrees from a wide range of subjects, including: Business, Computer Science, Clinical Herbalism, Acupuncture, Construction, Engineering, Musical Instrument Crafts, and Teaching.
Guest of honour, Daniel Wilkinson, was awarded companionship of Lincoln College for his contribution to the College and gave an inspiring graduation address, followed by a speech from Sports Coaching, Education and Development graduate, Gemma Bell.
Lincoln College Group Principal and CEO, Mark Locking, said: “What a wonderful celebration of the amazing achievements of our higher education students. This is always one of my favourite events of the year as our teachers who have worked so hard get to see the look of pride on our graduates’ faces and those of their families.
“And how fitting for it to take place during the week that we celebrate World Teachers Day. We are so immensely proud of the work of our higher and further education teachers through some tough times in recent years.”
Matthew Harrison, who studied Business and Management, graduated with a First-Class honours degree. He said: “I’m really happy I did the course. The smaller class sizes and support from the tutors and other students was something that you won’t get anywhere else. I’d highly recommending the degree for anyone interested.”
Georgia Davey, who graduated from Mechanical Engineering, added: “I chose to study at Lincoln College because I really liked the setting and loved the campus. Hopefully after graduation my aspirations are to join the Royal Air Force.”
Lincoln College is still recruiting students to study on its degree courses for 2022 entry. It’s not too late to apply, even if a student has started at another University or college. The fee will be reduced to reflect the later start.
