Welcome to the Lincoln College web site. Whatever your reason for accessing it, I hope you will find it interesting and informative.
Lincoln is one of the world's oldest academic institutions with a rich architectural heritage. Its Front Quadrangle is one of the least altered of all such structures and remains for many of the college’s sons and daughters the most evocative of images, with its fifteenth-century faзade, its unvaryingly verdant lawn and its rich shroud of Virginia creeper turning from green to scarlet every autumn. Its medieval hall, its seventeenth-century chapel, and its baroque library are all buildings of exceptional importance and visual appeal.
If these are the historic highlights of our central site, they none the less understate our full impact. Thanks to fifty years of steady development Lincoln now occupies a large wedge of central Oxford straddling both Turl Street and High Street. We house the great majority of our students - our undergraduates throughout their time with us and postgraduates for at least one year and often two. Most of the students live on the central site in modern accommodation (much of it with en suite facilities and all of it with access to the university’s IT network). It is this concentration here, in the heart of the city, that helps give Lincoln one of its most characteristic features, its close-knit texture and strong sense of community. Almost every night Hall is filled for two sittings. Our common rooms are known for their good humour and co-operative spirit.
Lincoln is a multidisciplinary institution with 260 undergraduates studying a wide range of subjects in science, humanities and social science. It also has an unusually high proportion of postgraduates, some 180 in all. The College has always taken particular pride in this mix, having been the first Oxford college to create a Middle Common Room dedicated exclusively to the needs of graduates. Today’s graduate members of the College contribute fully to collegiate life and help give it a markedly cosmopolitan feel. At any one time at least twenty nationalities are to be found within our walls.As a research institution we hold our heads high. Our Fellows include many at the leading edge of international research, following in a tradition that recalls Florey, of penicillin fame, Sidgwick the chemist, and Ashmole, the world-famous archaeologist. At present we are planning a major new development to support staff and students in bio-medical sciences which will provide us with over fifty new postgraduate accommodation units and extensive conference and common room facilities.Our students engage in a wide range of activities, cultural as well as academic. The College choir is noted for its performances, and recently its highly successful CD recordings. The entire range of Oxford sports is pursued with enthusiasm and in many instances distinction. Recent achievements include four blues in three years in the Oxford-Cambridge boat race, a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics won by a former graduate Stephanie Cook, and outstanding performances in activities that include chess, drama, poetry and sports dancing as well as athletics and football.
Not the least of the College’s continuing triumphs is of a quite different kind. Its chef, Jim Murden, is renowned inside and outside Oxford for the cuisine that he and his team provide for all our members. He does so in a kitchen which has just been modernised to the highest standard and sits alongside a redesigned buttery and student bar, affectionately known to generations of Lincoln members as Deep Hall and now provided with spacious facilities. This kitchen project is the latest of numerous improvements of the College’s environment in recent years and forms part of a continuing programme of renewal and refurbishment.
I hope you will agree that our web site offers you a vivid and rounded picture of Lincoln. But there is nothing like experiencing the real thing and, particularly if you are interested in applying for admission to the College, we hope that you will take the opportunity of visiting us in person.
