We are part of University of the Arts London. Our main campus is located in the award-winning Granary Building at the centre of London's King's Cross. We also have a campus at Archway. alumni include artists and designers who have challenged and shaped the world around us. These include Turner Prize and Oscar winners, as well as Royal Designers for Industry and Royal Academicians.
The College's nine programme areas: Art, Product, Ceramic and Industrial Design, Culture and Enterprise, Drama and Performance, Fashion, Graphic Communication Design, Spatial Practices, Jewellery and Textiles, Foundation and Access to HE.
Our DNA comes from two art and design schools, Saint Martin's School of Art, established in 1854, and the Central School of Art, founded in 1896. The Central School grew out of the Arts & Crafts movement.Our first principal was the architect William Richard Lethaby. He removed the barriers between the intellectualism of design and practical skills of production. He likened learning through theory and scholarship alone to learning to swim out of water. Both Saint Martin's School of Art and the Central School became known in the 20th century for radical visual arts practice. In 1989, the two merged to become what we are today, Central Saint Martins. We welcomed Drama Centre London in 1999 and the Byam Shaw School of Art in 2003.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I attended a short course at Central Saint Martins and it was a precious experience that delivered even more than what expected in five days.
Cannot say the same of the undergraduate course I was attending at lcf, identity thieves and poor originality... if you are a creative individual that wants to grow as an artist stay away from there! If you are a pampered preppy then you will be more than welcome there...

They are more political than anything. They take your money and teach you little ( except for the fashion design courses that are very good) the other courses are really bad. Teachers are always too much into their own personal problems and never remember anyone in the class..

Do not go there. It was an awful and political institution worse than a bank sucking up your money and using it for advertisement. Teachers were over stressed, do not remember students name or face because there were too many of them, unrealistically white (and Chinese) dominant place taught by almost all white people. Not comfortable for those who cherish fairness, real sense of diversity, and moral decency, rather than nice cafes or shops nearby. I felt I was treated like a peasant. It was the most expensive, worst experience of my life.

Central St Martins (CSM) is one of the colleges under the University of the Arts London (UAL). CSM is an amazing place teaching everything from product design to the performing arts. CSM also offers short courses in pretty much every subject you can imagine. It an amazing place that people from all over the world come to, to learn.
