Offer holder guide

This guide brings together everything you need to feel prepared before you arrive at CCI, from practical information to the support services available to you. We're looking forward to welcoming you.

Your campus

CCI is currently based across multiple sites in London. If you're joining one of our postgraduate courses, BSc (Hons) Creative Computing or BSc (Hons) Creative Robotics then you'll be based in our Peckham Road location from September 2026 to June 2027. Or, if you'll be studying BSc (Hons) Computer Science or BSc (Hons) Data Science and AI then you'll be based in High Holborn during this time.

From September 2027, CCI will move to London College of Communication's new building in Elephant and Castle. If you're studying one of our undergraduate or 15-month postgraduate courses then you'll be based in this new building for the remainder of your course.
