About University
The University of Lincoln is a public research university in Lincoln, England. The University has origins that trace back to 1861 and obtained university status in 1992 and its present name and structure in 2001. Lincoln's main campus is adjacent to Brayford Pool - a site of urban regeneration in the city since the 1990s. Satellite campuses are located in Riseholme, Lincolnshire - home to the Lincoln Institute for Agri-food Technology, and an additional campus at Holbeach which houses the facilities of the National Centre for Food Manufacturing (NCFM). Graduation ceremonies take place every year at the medieval Lincoln Cathedral.
Queen Elizabeth II opened the university's main campus in Lincoln, the first new city centre campus to be built in the UK for decades.
