Research-Engaged Teaching
Student as Producer
We are the leading partner in a Government project which enables students to learn through hands-on experience. Through practise and primary engagement with research, students build and improve their critical skills which in turn increases their employment opportunities.
Students engage directly in all aspects of teaching and learning at the University of Lincoln. This research-engaged teaching is grounded in the intellectual history and tradition of the modern university, and the Student as Producer scheme is the organising principle for all teaching and learning across the University.
Students are involved in working with lecturers in the design and delivery of teaching and learning programmes at Lincoln. Academics provide the main substance for courses but we also like to ask what students are interested in learning and how programmes can be designed to fit with their particular interests and passions.
“Undergraduates are no longer here simply to consume information passively: they are here to learn by generating knowledge through real research or projects which replicate the process of research within their chosen discipline” - Professor Mike Neary (Dean of Teaching and Learning)
Student as Producer has surfaced at a time when students are demanding greater value for money in terms of quality of teaching and graduate employability. By offering students responsibility and practical engagement, they benefit from a more holistic learning experience which leads to enhanced employment prospects, personal development and satisfaction with their course.
