The Lincoln Award

The Lincoln Award is an employability framework built around the benefits of extracurricular activity which is run by the University’s Careers and Employability Service. It enables students to acquire transferable skills to complement those developed on their academic course by completing a series of chosen activities. Students completing the award are expected to have developed employability skills and learned how to demonstrate these to employers.
