Bishop Grosseteste University

Bishop Grosseteste University offers courses ranging from Foundation Degrees up to PhD level.

There's no 'one-size-fits-all' method of teaching at BGU. Instead, we shape our methods to suit each subject area and each group of students, combining the best aspects of traditional university teaching with innovative techniques to promote participation and interactivity. You'll probably find yourself being taught in a variety of ways from tailored lectures, tutorials and seminars, to practical workshops, coursework and work based-placements. 

Tuition fees vary depending on course and whether you're a UK or international student. More information on fees can be found here: www.bgu.ac.uk/fees-and-funding

We're located on a beautifully green and pleasant campus just a few minutes’ walk from Lincoln Cathedral, Castle and the old Roman city. We've been here for a very long time, developing and growing with the city around us. Some of our buildings date from the 1840s and are still in use today. We complement these fine Victorian buildings with modern facilities and state-of-the-art teaching and learning spaces, providing an enticing mix of the old and the new, the intimate and the expansive. 

But, of course, the academic side of things is only one part of studying for a degree. Our students also need to make sure that their university can satisfy their hunger, thirst and entertainment needs. There are plenty of places to eat or drink on campus, including the Alice in Wonderland-themed Curiositea, the urban diner Refectory and the bar located in the Students’ Union. 

Our campus boasts excellent sports facilities, including an on-site sports hall, playing fields, and a sport and fitness centre. Students receive a free membership for their first year of study in 2023 and 2024. The fitness suite is equipped with top-of-the-line cardiovascular equipment, resistance equipment, and free weights, while also offering a variety of fitness classes.

The library is open every day except for limited closure periods at Christmas and Easter. The library is located in the Cornerstone Building, which offers modern and spacious spaces, with social, quiet and silent study areas, plenty of PCs and a 24/7 IT suite nearby.

The Student Advice team is also situated in the Cornerstone Building. The team offers support to students during their time at BGU and even before they start. Free advice is given on housing, social security benefits, student funding, debt, consumer issues and academic problems. The team's support is award-winning, having received 1st place for Student Support at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2023. 
 

There's no denying it - one of the most daunting aspects of starting university can be moving away from home to somewhere new.

That's why we do everything we can to make your move from home to BGU as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Our self-contained campus is the perfect place to call home, with just about everything you need close by and within easy reach. 

We have a great selection of rooms available to you and first year students are guaranteed accommodation, either on or close to campus. In fact, our students love our accommodation so much, we were awarded 1st Place for Halls and Accommodation in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2023 - awards voted for entirely by students!

Each hall of residence has a different character based around shared facilities or en suite cluster flats. All rooms on campus have Wi-Fi. On-site security is provided 24/7, and a network of residential assistants are on hand.
