About LCC

At London College of Communication, our dynamic community of staff, students and graduates discover new possibilities in creative communications.

We support our students to explore the power of storytelling, develop a career they love, and to make a difference across wider society.

Taught by experienced practitioners, they create work that challenges and inspires in ways that generate responsible and imaginative futures, and have opportunities to showcase their projects through events and exhibitions. As graduates, they go on to shape the creative industries by forging their own paths in thoughtful and experimental ways.

Our outstanding facilities are central to student life at LCC, and enable us to learn, research, make and innovate.

We use the diversity of our skills, voices and experiences to work closely with local communities and transform the world around us, and have strong industry networks that enable us to collaborate with organisations ranging from start-ups and charities to leading global businesses.

Explore life at LCC digitally through our immersive Virtual Open Day.
