Collaborative Educational Partnerships

Collaborative Educational Partnerships are established with institutions who deliver Lincoln Bishop approved degree programmes locally and more widely across England. These partnerships enable Lincoln Bishop and its UK partner institutions to enrich the local HE provision, extend the geographical reach of the university, and enable a diverse range of students to achieve a Lincoln Bishop-validated qualification.

Depending on their course and location, many students at Lincoln Bishop's UK partner institutions later progress onto higher-level programmes, which might be delivered either at Lincoln Bishop, or within their own institutions

Lincoln Bishop’s current (2026/27) register of collaborative partnerships includes:

Grantham College, Grantham, UK (Franchise Partner)

FdA Professional Practice Special Educational Needs

FdSc Health and Social Care Practitioner

FdA Education in Practice

FdA Early Childhood Education in Practice

All of the above have designated progression routes at Lincoln Bishop. These enable direct entry to the final year of a full degree, or a stand-alone ‘top-up’ year with the option of distance/blended learning in some subjects.
