College of Design, Creative & Digital Industries
About us
Established in 2018, the College of Design, Creative and Digital Industries (DCDI) brings together, under one umbrella, academic programmes, research activity and enterprise across the subject areas of Media, Arts and Design, Architecture and Technology.
The College is made up of four distinct schools located over three campuses. The School of Architecture and Cities is based at our Marylebone Road campus, The School of Computer Science and Engineering operates from our campus on New Cavendish Street, and the Westminster School of Arts, and Westminster School of Media and Communication operate predominantly at our Harrow campus.

DCDI works closely and in dialogue with professional bodies and employers, industry and businesses, as well as statutory bodies and the third sector, to shape our programmes, connect our students and to inform and influence the creative industries, impact the digital economy and contribute to the well-being of people and society.
