At the University of Lincoln, we have a suite of work-based distance learning programmes for full-time serving, reservist, and veteran members of the Armed Forces. These courses are ideal if you are seeking to gain a new qualification, improve your management skills to progress in their existing careers, or prepare for the next step.
Our teaching takes a holistic development approach, placing you, as the knowledge expert of your role, at the centre of our teaching process. In acknowledging your service to our country, we offer a bursary that provides a significant reduction to the programme fee.
We are proud of military partnerships, and as an approved learning provider under the Armed Forces Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELCAS), we also have a number of existing military programmes. These allow serving members of all three Services, as well as their MOD civilian colleagues, to achieve academic recognition.
We are also the first university to achieve the accolade of the partnerson Scheme. This award recognises private and public sector employers that pledge, demonstrate and advocate support for the Defence and Armed Forces community, and meet the objectives of the Armed Forces Covenant.
Our military programmes are designed to allow serving members of all three services, as well as their MOD civilian colleagues, to achieve academic recognition from their extensive work experience and formal training. Suitably qualified officers, SNCO, JNCOs, and junior ranks are invited to apply. Applicants need to be in some form of managerial role to support their place on the programme, this does not necessarily mean in charge of manpower, this could also be resource management. In addition, previous serving members of the three services are also entitled to enrol through a tailored military programme route.
An approved learning provider under the Armed Forces Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) scheme, the University of Lincoln has invested more than ten years of research and development to evolve our military degree programmes. Recognising the significant operational experience and training of military and civil service personnel, the programmes are open to all suitably qualified and experienced personnel.
Our programme suite is designed to fit in around your busy schedule so that you can choose when and where you study and make the most of your down time. As long as you have a reliable internet connection you can study from anywhere in the world. Typically, students take 19 to 24 months to complete their studies and exit with an honours degree, a level five diploma in Leadership and Management, and Chartered Manager status from the CMI. However, flexibility is a key feature built into our programme suite so students are able to formally interrupt their studies, for a period of up to 2 years, in light of deployment or other commitments.
