LCA Business School London (formerly London College of Accountancy) is a private higher education institution located in central London. It was established in 2000 with a primary focus on accountancy and professional business education, particularly preparation for qualifications like ACCA.
Over time, the school expanded its academic portfolio and now offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in areas such as:
- Business Management
- Accounting & Finance
- Marketing
- Human Resource Management
- Hospitality & Tourism
Key Features
- Operates as a private-sector business school focused on career-oriented education
- Strong emphasis on flexibility and affordability for international students
- Offers industry-relevant teaching, often delivered by professionals with real-world experience

Academic Affiliation
LCA Business School has historically worked in partnership with
Anglia Ruskin University,
meaning that degree programmes are typically awarded by the partner university, not by LCA itself.
This is important because in the UK system:
- Some institutions (like LCA) are “listed bodies”
- They deliver courses, but degrees are awarded by recognized universities
Ranking Details
❌ Global / National Ranking Status
- LCA Business School does NOT appear in major rankings such as:
- QS World University Rankings
- Times Higher Education (THE)
- Complete University Guide
-
It is explicitly noted that:
LCA Business School does not feature in major UK rankings
✔ Partner University Ranking
Since degrees are awarded by Anglia Ruskin University:
- The partner university was ranked around 105th in the UK (Complete University Guide 2014)
- ARU is considered a mid-tier UK university, not elite but recognized
👉 Therefore, the academic value of an LCA degree depends largely on the partner university’s reputation, not LCA itself.
