Welcome to the website of Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU). As a university we are committed to encouraging our students and supporting them throughout their time with us. We strive to build a community atmosphere and our intimate size allows us to do just that. As a student you will get to know your class mates and your tutors well and build real and long lasting friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Subsequent name changes in 2006 and 2012 saw our name changed to Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln, before we finally became Bishop Grosseteste University. fWe began life in 1862 as an Anglican teacher training college for women. To mark our centenary in 1962, our name was changed to Bishop Grosseteste College in honour of Robert Grosseteste, the thirteenth century scientist, philosopher, educator, and Bishop of Lincoln.
