We are delighted to have launched a new Oxford Direct Partner in our portfolio last month. Opening for a September 2025 intake, Lincoln Bishop University recently changed its name from Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU). It maintains its reputation as being one of the best universities in the country for student experience and teaching quality.

Students can select from a range of postgraduate degrees ranging from Arts & Humanities, Education and Health and Social Care.
The new name, Lincoln Bishop University, reflects the institution’s proud heritage and location within the historic city of Lincoln, placing the University in its contemporary strategic context. This change of name will support an expansion of its reach, both nationally and internationally, and through that wider reach deliver greater positive impact for the individuals and communities they seek to serve.
This exciting new chapter is part of a much bigger story within the University’s proud history, as the University commences its next phase of development guided by a new, five-year strategic plan.
In pursuing the mission of the University, advancing social and economic prosperity through excellence in teaching, research and knowledge exchange, it remains committed to its core values, including inclusion and innovation. Its key goals are to create inspiring opportunities and transformative experiences for students, staff, and the University’s many partners.
Professor Andrew Gower, Vice Chancellor of Lincoln Bishop University, said: “It’s a great privilege to be leading the University at this exciting time. I’m hugely grateful for the strength of longstanding local support.
