Enhance your Studies
As a student at Lincoln, you will have access to a range of leading-edge and innovative equipment which provide an opportunity to enhance your learning, encourage research, and hone industry-ready skills during your time with us. Our students are able to make the most of these facilities from the start of their undergraduate-level study, through to PhD-level studies.
The University of Lincoln's Sarah Swift Building is home to a range of clinical suites, designed to simulate hospital wards and home settings. Also housed in this building are our specialist psychology laboratories which include a sleep laboratory, motor lab and EEG laboratories, and a psychophysiology laboratory.
The Human Performance Centre is accessed by School of Sport and Exercise Science students and accommodates equipment such as motion capture and physiological testing facilities, designed to measure and maximise sports performance. These specialist laboratories provide students with access to physiological and biomechanical assessment and are equipped for both teaching and research.
Lincoln Law School also features a moot court and you can benefit from a courthouse-style simulated environment, complete with judge's bench, witness stands, clerk's desk, and defence and prosecution solicitor benches. This specialist opportunity allows you to realistically experience key principles of modern legal practice from a variety of courtroom roles.
Students also have access to ICT suites and technical staff who can offer support in the design and execution of experiments and assistance with specialist software.
