Back in May 2024, we embarked on a mission to co-create a new Vision for London College of Communication – helping us to reflect on where we are as a College and pointing to where we want to go in the future.

We worked with students, staff, alumni, and external partners in industry and education throughout 2024. We hosted focus groups and invited students and staff to respond to our survey – which had around 250 responses.

We are delighted that we are now able to share the outcome of this work with our student community and reveal our new Strategic Vision for London College of Communication: ‘Creative Communication Transforms the World’.

Professor Kene Igweonu, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of London College of Communication, said

“After many months of research and collaborative work with our student and staff community, as well as partner schools and industry connections, I am delighted that we are now able to share our new Strategic Vision for LCC.

“I am confident that this Vision recognises our history, reflects where we are today, and points to how we want to be seen and where we want to go in the future, as we look towards our new building and beyond.

“I’d like to extend a huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this work, in particular our fantastic and insightful students who responded to our Vision survey – we couldn’t have done this without you.”

Why we undertook this work

As the world around us continues to change at a faster and faster rate, so too must we. New challenges mean new solutions, new possibilities and new opportunities.

With the world of creative communications changing faster than ever, a new building for the College set to open in September 2027 and alongside the University launching a new 10-year strategy and Social Purpose Implementation Plan, as a College we identified an important opportunity to reflect on who we are and where we want to be at the end of the decade.

One of the aims of the vision project is to inspire relevant audiences to connect with, and support, LCC’s future aims and ambitions whilst being grounded in LCC’s past and present strengths.

Our new Vision, Our Promise to You

Our new strategic Vision 'Creative Communication Transforms the World' is both simple and ambitious. It commits us to delivering more to you and to the wider world.

It will help us to address the societal issues of our time with courage and imagination, transforming the world into a more equitable place. We promise to nurture a diverse, energetic, and welcoming community in spaces that promote collaboration and radical thinking. We will nurture the creative practice of our staff and support them to deliver world-class creative education that challenges norms and demands excellence.

With world-leading courses in screen, design and media, we will push to seamlessly fuse with the creative industries to forge clear career pathways for all students and position our college at the forefront of global change.

Our vision will help us to ensure that every single student that leaves LCC is equipped with the skills, confidence, and visionary ambition to transform the future and leave a meaningful mark on the world.

What will happen next

Staff at London College of Communication will now work to ensure that our values, behaviours and practices as a College align with this Vision, and continue to do so for the next 10 years.

We thank students for their crucial input to this work.
