International Study Pathways
We have joined with universities and learning institutions around the world to create pathways which seamlessly allow you to study with us and complete a Lincoln University qualification.
Our agreements include joint-degree programmes at universities in China, such as with Yunnan Agricultural University and Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering, in which you start your degree in China and finish it, or do postgraduate study, at Lincoln. We also have similar arrangements with universities from Sri Lanka, Canada, Germany and Austria, with time spent here and overseas to complete your degree.
We also have pathways with high schools, overseas and within New Zealand, and with private institutions, like Northern Consortium UK (NCUK), a transnational pathway whereby the programmes are delivered wholly overseas by NCUK. After graduating, students can gain direct admission to a Lincoln degree.
These arrangements mean you become part of the Lincoln community while still in your own country and studying, and have a clear pathway to earning a world-class qualification from two high-quality institutions.
You will benefit from the overseas experience of studying at Lincoln and New Zealand, being immersed in an English-speaking culture, and being part of a diverse and inclusive student body.
We are always developing new pathways and arrangements to ensure Lincoln study, and all the advantages it brings, is available to as many people as possible around the world.
