Founding Member: Lincoln University (New Zealand)
For more than 140 years, Lincoln University has focused on growing New Zealand’s land-based knowledge, wealth and productivity. Things grow when the conditions are right and facilitating growth is what Lincoln University is all about.This means offering diverse learning options that fit students’ ambitions and partnering with industry to help address some of the world’s most enduring issues.
Lincoln has been teaching agriculture for 140 years, but as New Zealand’s economy has grown evermore diverse, the university has kept pace. It now offers a perfect balance of credibility, experience and future-focus with a range of specialised areas, which include agriculture, horticulture, winemaking and grape-growing, business, property and valuation, environmental management, tourism, sport and recreation and landscape architecture.
Rather than trying to spread itself too thinly, Lincoln puts its resources into what it’s truly best at. The university’s history is with the land and this is where its future lies. Importantly, land-based activity relates to the way the planet is treated, so Lincoln’s focus is on sustainable practices to ensure that productivity does not come at the expense of the environment.
The university also focuses on demonstration and extension, using real farms as research laboratories and teaching environments. Relative to size, Lincoln has a higher number of academics producing world-class research than any other university in the country.
Advantages of Studying at Lincoln University
In spite of all this, it’s still New Zealand’s smallest university and that provides a big advantage.Students enjoy a more personal learning environment and extra face-time with lecturers. Plus Lincoln’s unique village atmosphere fosters a real sense of community and helpfulness. Internationally, Lincoln has academic alliances with complementary institutions in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. These alliances support academic relationships and enhance educational opportunities.
