relating to their field at foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
SCHOOL OF FASHION AND DESIGN

talent alone, which is why we aim to teach business elements on all of our programmes.
The School aims to lead the field in developing fashion design skills through digital technologies,
idea generation, contextual studies, project design and visual communication techniques. Whilst
providing each student with an insight into the heart of the fashion world by learning from
successful brands, offering hands-on experience, work placements and inspirational guest
speakers.
SCHOOL OF STILL AND MOVING IMAGE
This School comprises of two main subject areas: Photography and Moving Image. We aim to
offer practical, career-focused courses which will prepare you for pursuing career opportunities.
Courses within the subject area of photography will aim to immerse you in an environment
which brings photography into a relationship with a wide range of contemporary media
including video, new media technology, printmaking, animation and others.
Those within the subject area of moving image provide training for future filmmakers,
producers, moving image archivists, programmers, curators, artists working with the moving
image, and cinema enthusiasts. The department will be dedicated to study of the history of art,

Visas and Immigration
Information
Most students from outside the European
Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland will
need a student Visa to study in the UK.
Application forms and advice about the Visa
process is available from www.ukvisas.gov.
uk or your local British Council office. Please
note that some countries have different
procedures for Visa applications.
The way you are classed is based on your
nationality - see the ukvisas website for
more information.
All Visa nationals must apply for a Visa as
a student before they come to the UK,
regardless of the length of their course.
If you are classed as a non-Visa national,
and are coming for a course of six months
or less, you have the option of applying
for permission to enter and stay in the UK
when you arrive here – however we strongly
recommend that you apply for an entry
clearance before leaving your home country.
If you are studying for more than six months,
you must apply for a Visa to the UK before
leaving your home country.
To apply for a student Visa you will need to
provide:
A completed Visa application form
(VAF9- PBS Migrant) accompanied
with PBS Appendix 8 General Student

the immigration officer will want to see that
you have enough funds to accommodate

Health & Wellbeing
At LCCA we are very much part of the
creative community, and we recognise
that the life of an artist especially at the
learning phases can often be stressful and
emotionally demanding. To address these
issues and help to reduce the anxiety,
stress or depression that may affect
the lives and study of our students, the
LCCA Student Counselling Service (SCS)
offers a range of services to ensure each
student gets the support they need. Our
service is designed to help students with
concerns that are affecting their academic
performance, artistic achievements or
overall lifestyle, and is available free of
charge to all students, whether they are
full-time, part-time, undergraduate or
postgraduate.
Our counsellors are dedicated
professionals, who focus on the student
and are committed to improving student
wellbeing. We provide counselling
assistance for a wide range of issues
in a comfortable, calm and confidential
environment where students can explore
and better understand the concerns
that are troubling them. Whatever the
challenge that you are facing, a counsellor
will work with you to identify your
needs and, when necessary, will be able
to refer you to suitable resources and
professionals.
Student Advice Service
LCCA Student Advice Service provides
advice on a wide range of practical issues
such as immigration status, student loans,

between the students and the staff of the
College, including both lecturers and the
management. Student Representatives are
elected by the students at the beginning
of each academic year and they are
normally the first point of reference for any
queries or issues raised by the students.
The role of Student Representatives is
voluntary, each course and programme
must have one, and any student can put
themselves forward for the election. The
institution of Student Representatives
is most important as they ensure that

students are taken into consideration by
the management of the College.
