160 Years And Counting
This year we’re celebrating our 160th birthday, which makes us one of the oldest Higher Education institutions in the UK. We like to think we’ve changed a lot of people’s lives for the better in the past 160 years, educating countless students and giving them the best possible experience we can.
Step onto campus and you'll instantly see that we're an incredibly supportive, caring and tight-knit community, and we plan to carry on changing lives for at least another 160 years to come.
What Our Students Say
We love BGU - but of course, you'd expect us to say that! So instead, why not watch the video above and find out all about BGU from those who know it the best - our students.
You can also hear much more from our students over on our Student Voices page, where they have a chance to tell you about their course, about BGU and about being a student in Lincoln.
When I went and looked around the campus it just felt like home. I could see myself there and everyone was really friendly.
