In the world beyond our daily lives, there are some big important issues to sort. The world's resources are dwindling, the population is growing and the weather's out of control.

The world needs people who can take it on.

The most valued jobs and in-demand people in the future are going to be the ones who help tackle the tough problems and find smarter ways to organise the things that really matter, like feeding the planet, improving our quality of life and safeguarding our world for future generations.

We are Lincoln University. We were founded in 1878, back in the day when New Zealand was an agriculture-based society and the rest of the world made sheep jokes. But how the times have changed! With 20% of the world's jobs now in land-based industries, our students are often drafted into professional roles before they even graduate.

When you come to Lincoln, you become part of something special. Certain qualities rub off and stay with you for life - qualities that make you think of the future, roll your sleeves up and do something about it. We call it the Lincoln Effect.

We're not exaggerating when we say 'the world needs Lincoln, the world needs you'. There's only one university like us, and only one you. So be part of the Lincoln Effect and get yourself here.
