Overview
As of 1 September 2025, Bishop Grosseteste University officially became Lincoln Bishop University (LBU). This rebranding reflects its deep-rooted history in Lincoln while positioning it as a modern, globally focused institution.
Lincoln Bishop University is a prestigious institution with a 160-year heritage, located just a stone's throw from Lincoln's historic Cathedral and Castle. Following its 2025 rebrand, the university has doubled down on its mission to provide high-impact, socially purposeful education. It is widely celebrated for its small-scale, supportive environment, where international students are treated as individuals rather than numbers.
The university specialises in Education, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business, with an internationally recognised research profile in Archaeology, English, and Psychology. Despite its historic roots, the campus is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including the multi-million-pound Teaching and Learning Centre. As a Top 3 UK University for Teaching Quality in 2026, LBU continues to be a leader in student satisfaction and employability. Its single-site green campus offers a safe, peaceful, and inspiring atmosphere for over 2,000 international students, making it one of the most welcoming study destinations in the UK.
