Formerly London College of Printing, LCC is the largest constituent College of the University of the Arts London and our students automatically become members of Europe's largest university dedicated to art, communication, design and related technologies.
University status was awarded following our long run of outstanding evaluations of teaching quality, and our sector-leading research performance.
The College has around 9,000 students, of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. This is a diversity which adds to the unique feel of this special and specialist College. Our staff include successful practitioners in London's thriving design, photography, broadcasting, publishing, advertising, film, printing, retailing and media industries.
The London College of Communication is more single minded than a large, multi-faculty university. All students share our passion for the communication of ideas and images and the distribution of products and images.
