Meet our Pakistan Student and Alumni Community
Studying in the UK is more than just gaining a degree, it is an opportunity to learn from new experiences, develop self confidence and initiative and to make fantastic memories that we hope will last a lifetime. Find out more about what it is like to live and study at the University of Lincoln by reading some of our Pakistan student and Alumni stories below.
"People in the UK are very friendly and polite. The education system is so advanced which attracts students from all over the world to study so I got the chance to meet people from different cultures and countries. Here travelling is so easy and comfortable and many brands are available, so shopping is fun too. There are so many beautiful places to visit in Lincoln, like the castle and cathedral. Living here is less costly compared to other big cities in UK too.
On my course, there were special meetings where students could give feedback for future improvements. The module leaders were very supportive and friendly. We also had small class get-togethers arranged by the teachers where students could eat, play games and have fun.
My favourite part of University of Lincoln is its library. All of my course-related books, journals, articles were available. If I had any difficulty in writing reports or in finding data, it was possible to book appointments with a subject-related librarian."
