Welcome to Lincoln



Lincoln is a multidisciplinary institution with approximately 600 students equally split between those doing undergraduate and postgraduate study. Lincoln takes particular pride in this balance, having been the first Oxford college to establish a Middle Common Room in the 1950s.

We have Fellows at the forefront of research in their fields, students engaged in a wide range of academic, sporting and cultural activities, a beautifully unspoilt set of quadrangles, and a kitchen that serves the best food in the collegiate university!

Lincoln has continued its tradition of academic excellence for nearly 600 years thanks to the hard work of its students and Fellows – who have included Lord Florey (developer of penicillin), Elias Ashmole (famed archaeologist), novelist John Le Carré and Olympic gold medallist Stephanie Cook – and the generous support of its alumni and friends.

Whether you are a student, Fellow, staff member, alumnus, friend, parent or visitor to the College I do hope you find our website interesting and informative. If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact or visit us.

Professor Paul Langford, Rector
