The University of Lincoln is a public research university in Lincoln, England, UK. It was founded as Bishop Grosseteste University College in 1861. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, there was a shortage of teachers in the UK, and so the college offered evening classes for members of the armed forces and adults who wanted to enter teaching. The college also taught students who were training to be priests.
The University College became an independent university in 1992 with degree awarding powers validated by the Privy Council, under the name University of Lincolnshire and Humberside (UoLH). In 2008, after a review by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), it changed its name to the University of Lincoln. On 1 August 2016, it merged with De Montfort University under the name University of Lincoln – De Montfort.

The University’s second campus is located on Wigford Way, near Brayford Pool, and is known as Waterside Campus.
