I've Received an Offer

If you've received an offer to study with us, you'll become one of our Offer Holders. Accept your offer via OneUni by following the instructions after logging in. If the offer is conditional, your next step is to submit evidence of meeting the conditions of your offer either by uploading the documents to your OneUni account or by emailing them to pgenquiries@lincoln.ac.uk. If you have already received your results and meet the course requirements, your offer may be unconditional.

It is important to note that if you did not complete your undergraduate degree at Lincoln, you will be asked to provide your degree certificate/s from your previous institution. 

Funding Your Study

You will need to have funding in place for your studies before you arrive at the University. A Postgraduate Loan may contribute to your tuition fees and help support you while studying. We also offer a range of scholarships and bursaries to support students, including a discount on tuition fees for eligible alumni. The fees stated in your offer letter are the full, standard fees, and do not include any scholarships or bursaries that you may be eligible for.
