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. 

The Fashion Communication and Promotion pathway sits within the BA Fashion Communication course, alongside Fashion Journalism and Fashion History and Theory. With an increasing focus on digital communication, Fashion Communication and Promotion students work across a range of visual media and platforms, exploring film, photography, styling, production, set-build and new media, such as VR.
