Your Skills and Assignment Support

Widening Participation is a national agenda which is in place to ensure everyone who is capable of studying at degree level is able to do so regardless of their circumstances and background. Widening Participation activity addresses patterns of under-representation in Higher Education. For example, some students live in an area, which means they are less likely to study to that level, BAME students or those who are care leavers are also underrepresented at this level of education.

Lincoln College University Centre believes that all students should benefit from studying and learning, regardless of their background, and we endeavour to ensure that barriers students lace are limited. We are committed to supporting all of our students and wish to ensure that underrepresented groups are able to study and achieve their best. We address areas for improvement through our Access and Participation Plan.

The Widening Participation Team offer lots of opportunities to enhance your studies, including one-to-one sessions, workshops and seminars throughout the year. These include:

• One-to-one coaching to equip you with skills to be successful in your educational and life journey.
• One-to-one appointments with our academic writing officer to help to improve your critical thinking and assignment structure.
• Workshops and seminars covering topics such as stress management, how to write well, and how to write a dissertation.
• We also offer more extensive programmes in study skills and managing your mind and emotions, which is a fantastic eight week programme. Students who have previously attended these sessions have found them extremely beneficial.

The team will be in touch to let you know what's going on and how to book If you would like to find out more, then please contact the Widening Participation Officer: hclayton@lincolncollege.ac.uk.

As part of our commitment to the Widening Participation Agenda, there are a number of financial support packages available. Students who qualify for additional financial support are able to access the following in each year of study.
