Olivia Marston, who graduated in BA (Hons) Business and Management, said: “It was amazing to graduate in the Cathedral. Studying my degree with Lincoln College was the best experience – I’ve grown so much as a person.

“Not only has it given me more confidence, but I feel like my knowledge of the business world has grown massively.

“My tutors at Lincoln were so supportive – and the smaller class sizes and mentoring gave me one-to-one time so that I could get more personalised feedback on my work. Thank you to everyone at the college who’s supported and guided me along the way.”
