History

1894 opened in London's Saint Bride Lane Saint Bride Foundation Institute Printing School. It served as a training and cultural center and home to a technical library and a school for printers. In the same year the Guild and Technical School opened in Clerkenwell Road. The latter moved the following year to enable Bolt Court and changed his name to Bolt Court Technical School. It was rebuilt in 1911 and was called the London County Council School of Photo- Engraving and Lithography

1921 Westminster Day Continuation School was founded. She called herself from 1929 School of Retail Distribution. 1922 pulled the Saint Bride Printing School at the Stamford Street and became the independent London School of Printing and Kindred Trades ( LSPKT ). They merged in 1949 with the school in Bolt Court, the new joint facility was called until 1960 London School of Printing and Graphic Arts ( LSPGA ) and from 1960 London College of Printing (LCP ). 1964 moved the school to new premises in the Elephant and Castle district. 1969 merged the LCP with the Northwestern Polytechnic Department of Printing. Together with the Camberwell School of Arts and crafts, the Central School of Art and Design at the Chelsea School of Art, College for the Distributive Trades ( CDT), the London College of Fashion and the St Martin's School of Art was the LCP from 1986 the London Institute. The LCP and the CDT united in 1990 to the London College of Printing and Distributive Trades.

2003 the London Institute was granted the status of a university; it became the University of the Arts London. The LCP was called as a department of the university from 2004 London College of Communication.

Reduction of course offerings

In November 2009, there were sit-ins and protests by students against losses of the curriculum and deletions of teaching posts. Around 100 students tried to occupy the office of the Rector Sandra Kemp, to protest against lack of supervision of dissertations. Later, students occupied a lecture hall. Employee of a private security tried to clear the hall. This failed because of the opposition of a scientific employee who denied the security guards the right to touch the students. Eventually the police were called, which abolished the students out of the building. Some students were subsequently excluded from the study at the College.

The lecturer for public relations resigned because of deletions; there was a lack of staff. Lecturers with short-term contracts subsequently denied much of the teaching.

An examination of the Quality Assurance Agency ( QAA ) 2011 came to the conclusion that the courses so little satisfied the standards that the notes of some students were raised to reflect this. This study is the first of its kind; it follows the new Whistlebower process the QAA for complaints about academic standards and quality deficiencies. The investigation was taken after 16 courses had been closed and 26 full-time positions were left vacant.
