About us
Our purpose
Corndel College London is a new kind of higher education institution - one built on a radical belief that learning should unlock real, actionable progress for people and for society.
We bring education and the working world together. By grounding learning in the realities of modern industry, our approach to higher education broadens access to high‑quality, flexible learning opportunities and strengthens the link between knowledge, capability and opportunity.
At CCL, higher education isn’t just a moment in time - it is a foundation for lifelong development that can help people advance in work, participate fully in the economy and build better futures for themselves and their families.
Our story
Today’s higher education landscape is under pressure.
Many learners question the value they receive, while employers continue to face critical capability gaps as the world of work evolves at pace. This disconnect limits economic growth and holds many people back from achieving their career ambitions.
We exist to address this divide.
Informed by Corndel’s experience across today’s workplaces and its long‑standing understanding of professional development, CCL represents a new model of higher education - one shaped by real‑world insight rather than tradition. We champion the professional skills, mindsets and behaviours that help people adapt, progress and thrive throughout their working lives.
By bringing academic thinking closer to the realities of contemporary work, we aim to support social mobility, broaden access to high‑quality learning and contribute to a more productive, inclusive and opportunity‑rich economy.
