International student’s guide to starting university

Learning at Lincoln - Three students sitting at a bench talking.

Welcome to the University of Lincoln!

You’ve made it! Congratulations!

This section of Learning at Lincoln is for international students who are joining the University and moving into a period of self-isolation prior to joining classes.

You may be a Foundation year, Level 1,2 or 3 student or a postgraduate taught or research student.

Whether a period of self-isolation is required or not, is shaped by a number of very fluid factors. You can find further information from the UK Government.
