The London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA) is pleased to announce its acquisition by The University of Law (ULaw), thus expanding ULaw’s portfolio of career-focused education and creating new opportunities for undergraduate students across a wider range of disciplines.
LCCA brings an established reputation for practical, industry-connected education and a strong commitment to widening participation. Its addition to ULaw brings together two institutions with a shared focus on employability, student success and preparing graduates for the changing world of work.
For LCCA, joining ULaw creates opportunities to build on its established strengths in business, hospitality and the creative industries. As part of a wider academic community, LCCA will be able to draw on ULaw’s experience in career-focused higher education while continuing to develop its distinctive, practical approach to learning and its close connections with industry. The immediate priority will be to ensure continuity for existing students, maintaining the quality of their educational experience and building on the opportunities this brings for the future.
LCCA will also benefit from ULaw’s established academic governance, quality assurance processes and student support infrastructure. As an OfS-registered university with extensive experience of delivering higher education at scale, ULaw has robust structures in place to safeguard academic standards, oversee teaching quality and support positive student outcomes.
The acquisition also supports ULaw’s ambition to broaden access to career-focused higher education. By bringing together LCCA’s strengths in creative and practical education with ULaw’s experience in professional education, the University aims to create new opportunities for students across a wider range of disciplines and industries.
Mark Brocklehurst, Managing Director of LCCA said:
“Joining The University of Law’s wider academic community is a natural progression for LCCA. Our strength has always been in combining creative, practical learning with close industry connections, helping students develop the skills and experience they need to succeed in their careers.
“Looking ahead, we see exciting opportunities to build on those strengths, deepen collaboration and continue delivering an education that prepares our students for the world of work.”
