Final comments

I think the marketing of lincoln university doesn't match realtiy. A lot of the things they say are not true. But the most important thing is the imporvement of their academic level. I got my postgraduate diploma but I will never go for master or phd. Academic staff are not performing up to par. If you do a master or phd you are going to be on your own. Don't recommend this university.
