Part of the University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins was formed in 1989 by the merging of the Central School of Art and St. Martin's School of Art, both known for their radical practice across the visual arts. Now one of the world's leading art and design schools, Central Saint Martins offers short courses, full-time foundation training, plus undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in fields including jewellery, textiles, fashion, product, ceramic, industrial and graphic communication design. Innovation and creative thinking underpin the teaching, with staff committed to drawing out the individual skills and interests of students. Technical workshops form a vital part of the training, an opportunity for students to learn from inspiring and knowledgeable professionals.
