What we offer

 

We are UAL

Central Saint Martins is a world-leading centre for arts and design education.  Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally.  The nine programmes at CSM explore the boundaries of their discipline.  Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas, and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject, so emerging work is at the forefront of its area.  CSM sits at the heart of London’s creative scene, and of one of Europe’s most dynamic new culture and innovation quarters at King’s Cross, making the college increasingly important to London’s cultural life, and indicative of our general desire to open up CSM to as broad an audience as possible. 

CSM’s relocation to King’s Cross in 2012 and the subsequent development of the site has opened up a range of new opportunities for the college, our staff and students to collaborate and work in partnership with local businesses and organisations, as well as, neighbouring communities to positively contribute to the local civic and cultural life, as well as, the economic development and burgeoning innovation agenda of the area.
