The opportunity

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.

Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas, and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject; emerging work is at the forefront of its area.  

BA Fine Art is an established and globally respected course that has influenced and informed practice and research across a breadth of intellectual and creative territories. It  recognises the broad diversity of social, political, cultural, economic and technological contexts in which contemporary art is made and exhibited. Working together, staff and students interrogate the multiple and varied ways in which artists make work and make work public.
