LCC entices industry with part-time courses

The London College of Com­munication (LCC) is aiming to attract more industry participation by making some of its key print courses available part-time.

The south London university, formerly known as the London College of Printing, made its MA in Print Media Management a part-time course earlier this year and now hopes to attract a new wave of full-time print ­workers who are looking to upskill.

From next September, both the LCC’s Foundation Degree in Printing and Publishing Production and its BA in Print Media Management will be available as part-time courses.

Les Claridge, assistant dean at LCC, said the move was taken in response to “government reports and initiatives and the changing nature of the print industry”.

The new courses, he added, would be like day release, “only at a much more challenging level”.

Sue Pandit, the dean of LCC’s School of Printing and Publishing said: “Making our courses part-time is a great way to improve their accessibility. I believe these courses can give the industry a boost and unlock its potential.

“We are keen to let the industry know that, despite our rebranding in 2003, we’re still out there and our courses are more sophisticated than ever.”
