Today is about finding out if Lincoln feels right for you.
As you explore campus, meet students, and chat to academics, look beyond the facilities. Ask yourself what kind of future you want to build, and whether Lincoln feels like the place that can help you get there. Because university should do more than teach you something. It should help you become useful.
Browse our interactive University of Lincoln Open Day map to find registration points, car parks, campus buildings and accommodation. You will also be given a campus and city map when you register at one of our welcome points.
Visitors to our Open Day are welcome to park at the University’s Boulevard Car Park (LN6 7DQ) for free 7am - 7pm. However, please note that spaces here are limited and tend to fill up quickly, typically by 9.15am. For additional parking on campus, the Joseph Banks Laboratories Car Park (LN6 7DL) is also available 7am - 5pm.
Alternatively, there are several pay-and-display parking options nearby, including discounted parking at Lucy Tower Street (LN1 1XL) and Tentercroft Street (LN5 7DB). We encourage you to plan ahead to ensure a smooth arrival experience. Find out more about parking discounts.
We are unable to offer EV charging on the day at either of our University car parks (Boulevard Car Park, LN6 7DQ, and Joseph Banks Laboratories Car Park, LN6 7DL). However, there are various carparks around the University with EV charging points. For information about charging points around the city, please see the Lincoln City Council website.
Make sure you check in using the QR code which will be available on signs located around campus and in our Open Day gatefold, or visit our check-in page.
Make your subject talks and activities your priority. They're the best way to discover where your course could take you.
You can also visit the Subject Hubs throughout the day to chat with academic staff and current students, ask questions, and learn more about studying at Lincoln.
