BSc (Hons) Clinical Herbalism graduate, Sandile Gumunyu, added: "I was interested in studying this course because I was interested in studying more natural forms of medicine.
"I'd recommend the course to anyone. Coming here, I've met a load of like-minded people. I didn't know about Lincoln before, but I've enjoyed my time here immensely and I'm going to stay living here for the next few years. I've met friends here who I'll keep for life."
DipHE Complementary Healthcare and Wellbeing graduate, Gemma Cotterill, said: "I'd definitely recommend this course, it was amazing and I loved the entire time. I'm going on to be a manager at my work now which is amazing for similar therapies that I've learnt here."
