What we offer

 

We are UAL

University of the Arts London [UAL] is a vibrant world centre for innovation, drawing together six colleges with international reputations in art, design, fashion, communication and performing arts.

Central Saint Martins’ world-leading reputation for arts and design education stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally. The nine programmes at Central Saint Martins while challenging the boundaries of their discipline understand that what we do is always connected to others. Our community goes beyond building, beyond disciplines and beyond borders. From local neighbours to global partners, Central Saint Martins collaborates with others to build knowledge and transform objects, systems and lives for the better. We understand that good things happen when people work together.

The Culture & Enterprise programme is concerned with exploring the agency, contexts and functions of culture and creativity. The programme’s courses engage with critical, theoretical and historical discourses related to creative practice, leadership, innovation and enterprise, uniquely situated within the art school context. Currently comprising five postgraduate courses and one undergraduate course, this broad offer encompasses writing and curating, cultural critique and applications of creative practice and social innovation and entrepreneurship. With two flexible, blended learning courses (MA Arts and Cultural Enterprise and the MBA), the programme is exploring different types of access to education, testing ways of delivering teaching and learning across geographies, allowing students to balance education and employment/business.

Programme Directors at Central Saint Martins play a key role in shaping, leading and delivering the overall academic direction of their subject area. They have direct responsibility for the courses and staffing within their programme, as well as contributing to the wider academic strategy of the college. The Programme Director of Culture & Enterprise is responsible for the academic leadership and management of the programme and its courses – BA Culture, Criticism and Curation; MA Culture, Criticism and Curation; MA Applied Imagination; MA Innovation Management; MBA with Birkbeck; MA Arts and Cultural Enterprise – including the maintenance and enhancement of standards and overall responsibility for the development and delivery of the curriculum.
