Please note - changes for CCI from September 2027
From September 2027 we will no longer be teaching courses within the Creative Computing Institute (CCI). Courses will continue but instead will be taught by London College of Communication (LCC) in a cutting-edge new building (www.arts.ac.uk/colleges/london-college-of-communication/about-lcc/lcc-new-building). The Creative Computing Institute will become a dedicated research-focused institute located within LCC.

Students who begin a CCI course in September 2026 that’s longer than 12 months will move to LCC from September 2027 for the remainder of the course. Those students graduate from LCC and become members of the LCC alumni community.

This course is not accepting applications for deferred entry.
