Graduates, joined by their proud friends and families, gathered at the historic Lincoln Cathedral on 30 October 2025, to celebrate the annual Lincoln College University Centre graduation ceremony.
Following the ceremony, graduates and their families joined local dignitaries, leading employers, and college staff at The Drill for a special reception to continue the celebrations.
Students received their degrees from a wide range of subject areas, including Animal Management, Business, Computer Science, Construction, Engineering, Policing, Sports Coaching and unique specialist subjects such as Clinical Herbalism.
Guest of honour, Group Captain Steven ‘Harry’ Harrison, was awarded Companionship of Lincoln College for his continued support to the College and the air and defence industry. He delivered an inspiring graduation address, followed by a speech from newly-graduated HNC Aeronautical Engineering student, Elizabeth Bedells.
Elizabeth said: “I wanted to thank our dedicated teachers and excellent support team. Without you, none of this would be possible and the knowledge you have shared with us will reach far into whatever career we choose to enter. The opportunities you’ve opened up for us too are incredible.”
Lincoln College University Centre offers more than 40 degree-level courses and provides students with small group sizes, more contact time with industry expert tutors, and condensed timetables to fit around family life or employment.
Lincoln College Group Principal and CEO, Mark Locking, added: “Graduation is always one of the proudest moments in our calendar. Seeing our students walk across the stage in Lincoln Cathedral, surrounded by their families, is a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do.
“Their achievements reflect not only their hard work and determination but also the dedication of our staff who have supported them throughout their studies.
“We’re incredibly proud of every single graduate and excited to see the positive impact they will continue to make in their communities and careers.”
