Graduates, joined by their proud friends and families, gathered at the historic Lincoln Cathedral on October 30, 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 our unique specialist subject, Bsc (Hons) Clinical Herbalism, validated by The Open University.
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.
New graduate, Adrian Stone, said: “I chose to study this course because I’ve always been deeply fascinated by herbal medicine and its ability to support natural healing. I feel it complements the nutrition course I’ve already completed, allowing me to take a more holistic approach to health and wellbeing. My goal is to set up my own clinic now I’ve finished my studies, where I can begin working with and supporting patients."
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.”
Lincoln College University Centre continues to welcome new students to its range of degree-level courses each year.
