Once you’ve chosen the right programme for you, you can make an application to the University of Lincoln via our website. Simply click the ‘Apply Now’ button on the web page of your chosen course. You'll need to register to create an account so you can save your progress. You do not have to complete your application in one go. If you have already started your application and want to continue or are ready to submit your application, you can access this on the One Uni site.
Applications for most programmes open one year prior to the start of the course. Places are limited for some courses, so it is best to submit your application as early as possible. This is useful if you are hoping to secure funding or want to apply for accommodation.
Alongside your application, you will need to include a personal statement, one or two references depending on the type of programme, copies of completed qualification certificates and transcripts, and evidence that you meet our English language entry requirements where appropriate.
If you are applying for an MA/MSc by Research, an MPhil, or a PhD, you can find out more about the application process on our postgraduate research degree pages.
It's important that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision when you are applying for postgraduate study.

Our course pages can provide you with the information you need.
