Our purpose is to be an outstanding small-city anchor institution, equally committed to excellence in teaching, research and knowledge exchange, with deep regional and international engagement. We are committed to broad civic engagement, exemplified by our role as a founding partner of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP, our contribution to the Local Industrial Strategy, our work with local and global employers and with voluntary and public sector bodies. We generate more than £420 million each year for the UK economy and one in six people of working age in our city of Lincoln are either students or work for the University, whether directly or indirectly. Lincolnshire contains deprived rural, industrial and coastal regions, which has shaped our “local to global” research themes, most notably, a particular focus on global rural challenges. Over the last decade we have opened a new academic school every year, culminating in the establishment of the Lincoln Medical School last year. At Lincoln, we have a broad academic portfolio, organised into four Colleges (Science, Social Sciences, Arts, Business); in the last six years Science has expanded significantly with the opening of new Schools in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, Geography and (jointly with the University of Nottingham, 2019) a new Medical School.
