The University of Lincoln FC will take on Bishop Grosseteste University FC at Sincil Bank Stadium on 10 February.

The football game of the year will kick off at 7.45pm at Sincil Bank Stadium (Lincoln Football Club).

Tickets cost just £3 and can be bought from the Students’ Union, the University Sports Centre or on the gate. Children under 16 go free with an adult.

The event will also include performances from the Cheerleaders and Dancers from both universities.

The University  has reintroduced a centralised Module Evaluation Survey to improve our understanding of student satisfaction across the University.

The new survey will give us a clearer understanding of satisfaction trends during a student’s career through to the National Student Survey. Additionally, with the introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) next year, it is hoped that the survey will enable the University to be well placed to fully understand all elements of student satisfaction in all courses in preparation for TEF implementation. The aim, with your help, is to achieve a 50% participation rate for each subject at each level.

The Module Evaluation Survey is aligned to categories covered by the National Student Survey and will provide essential statistics to help support academics’ intelligence surrounding the overall student experience.

The participation campaign is run by the Students’ Union.

Undergraduates can take part by visiting https://lincolnsu.com/abc

The survey will finish on Sunday 13 December.

Please encourage your students to support this initiative and give their feedback.

Six University of Lincoln students from Interior Architecture and Design for Exhibition and Museums courses won the prestigious student design challenge organised by the British Institute of Interior Designers.

The competition was judged by Daniel hopwood, BIID president, Ben Spriggs, Deputy Editor of Elle Decoration, and Katie treggiden, journalist for Elle Decoration, the Guardian and the Telegraph.

The one-day CAD-free design competition is open exclusively to 3rd year Interior Design and Interior Architecture degree students from across the UK.

The University of Lincoln has been awarded a grant from the Magna Carta Trust’s 800^th Anniversary Commemoration Committee to create a work of outdoor art for our campus. This can be freestanding or designed as part of an existing building.  The work of art can be created or constructed from any material – the budget for construction is £5,000.

As part of the Magna Carta celebrations, the poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, who is also a Visiting Artist at the University, crafted a poem to celebrate the 800^th anniversary. That poem is to be the inspiration for your work of art and a copy is available on our website.

Dame Carol Ann Duffy will be one of the judges for the competition.

The closing date for the competition is 30 December 2015.

Carol Ann Duffy, UK Poet Laureate, Gillian Clarke, The National Poet of Wales and Imtiaz Dharker, Holder of the Queen’s Award for Poetry were commissioned by cultural solutions UK and Lincolnshire County Council to write a poetic response to the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta. The project, known as ‘Poets Laureate Lincolnshire Landscape’ saw the work shared with community groups across Lincolnshire who reflected upon the poems, before using them as inspiration to create their own artistic response.

Funded by Arts Council England and Lincolnshire County Council.
