Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln is a university college in Lincoln, England.
The College is a provider of higher education by degree and initial teacher training. Until acquiring university college status in 2006, the University of Leicester validated its qualifications. The college now awards its own degrees.
It was originally known as the Diocesan Training School for Mistresses, then Lincoln Diocesan Training College and then Bishop Grosseteste College before adopting its current name in 2006. It was founded as a teacher training college for the Diocese of Lincoln in 1862. The college initially occupied the premises of an earlier, unsuccessful training establishment for male teachers, built in 1842 (Zebedee 1962). This building is still in use.
The college takes its present name from Robert Grosseteste, a 13th century Bishop of Lincoln, theologian and scholar.
The incumbent principal is Professor Muriel Robinson.
