London College of Communication

The London College of Communication is a constituent college of the University of the Arts London. Its origins are in education for the printing and retail industries; it now specialises in media-related subjects including advertising, animation, film, graphic design, photography and sound arts. It has approximately 5,000 students, and offers about sixty courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level. It is organised in three schools: media, design and screen; all are housed in a single building in Elephant and Castle. It received its present name in 2004; it was previously the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts, then the London College of Printing, and briefly the London College of Printing and Distributive Trades. The top leadership role in the college was previously known as the Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of College; in 2025, this role was changed to the Provost of London College of Communication instead. The current provost is Professor Kene Igweonu, who has been the head of college since July 2022.
