The University will be making changes to the organisation of our academic colleges for the 2023/24 academic year.
We will move from the current four-college structure to a two-college structure in August 2023.
The University’s academic colleges (sometimes called faculties in other universities) are groupings of academic schools (departments), led by a Pro Vice Chancellor who is a member of the University’s Senior Leadership Team.
Our existing academic schools will all be retained in full and realigned into two larger colleges: a College of Health and Science; and a College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, as shown in the table below:
| College of Health and Science | College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities |
| – School of Health and Social Care -School of Life and Environmental Sciences -Lincoln Medical School -School of Pharmacy -School of Psychology -School of Sport and Exercise Science -School of Chemistry -School of Computer Science -School of Engineering -School of Mathematics and Physics -Lincoln Institute for Agri-food Technology -National Centre for Food Manufacturing -Foundation Studies Centre | -Lincoln International Business School -School of Education -Lincoln Law School -School of Social and Political Sciences -Lincoln School of Creative Arts -Lincoln School of Design -Lincoln School of Film, Media and Journalism -Lincoln School of Humanities and Heritage -Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment |
There are no changes to programmes, programme titles, teaching or the support services provided to students related to this change in organisational structure. The name, staffing and physical location of academic schools will not change.
Professional support services for students; our Libraries, Student Support, Student Wellbeing and the International College are unaffected by these changes in academic college structures.
The planned changes, which will be finalised in June, are intended to enable greater cross-disciplinary collaboration between different subject areas in teaching, research and knowledge exchange (such as collaborations with industry partners). It is hoped a broader cross-disciplinary focus will, in time, enable us to develop a broader range of opportunities for students, graduates and academic staff.
Your Students’ Union is reviewing the effect these changes will have on their representation model. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to your Personal Tutor, the University’s Student Support Centre (email: studentsupport@lincoln.ac.uk ) or the Students’ Union Advice Centre (email: advice@lincolnsu.com).
