University of Lincoln, Higher education institution in Lincoln, United Kingdom.
The University of Lincoln is a higher education institution in Lincoln, United Kingdom, with its main campus stretching along Brayford Pool in the city centre. Its various buildings occupy several sites and combine renovated industrial structures with newer teaching spaces near the cathedral.
The institution was founded in 1996 and received full university status in 2001. It developed from earlier educational establishments including the Hull School of Art and Endsleigh College into its current form.
The institution takes its name directly from the city that hosts it, reflecting a long local commitment to learning that dates back centuries. Today students from many countries attend lectures in repurposed warehouse spaces overlooking the waterfront basin.
