At Central Saint Martins, creativity is being regenerated by rethinking what an art and design college should focus on and how this might work. Throughout its history, it has had a reputation for change-making through creative practice. Today, across art, design and performance, the students and staff of Central Saint Martins create and practise ideas, materials and actions for a better future in a more-than-human world.

The College has a legacy of engaging with the global debate about the arts, performance and design, and their role in societal transformation. This is at the heart of what we do: we challenge what people think they know about the arts, performance, and design, and how it shapes and impacts us all.

To build on our College’s core spirit of interdisciplinarity as an art school, CSM has three Schools of Thought: C School [Culture], S School [Systems] and M School [Material]. The naming strategy emphasises the whole [C + S + M = CSM], champions the power of imagination and actively seeks collaboration across schools to break new ground within and beyond our disciplines. As such, our graduates are equipped to address the urgent global challenges facing society and the planet through art and design practice.

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.

At Central Saint Martins, we believe that art, design and performance can generate real, productive change.
