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. The vision for CSM commits us to social equality, climate justice and public commons.  The Art Programme at CSM explores the boundaries of the discipline and associated realms. This is a diverse and energised teaching and learning community where all are active as creative professionals and researchers. The team are comprised of emerging and established academics and practitioners who bring together a breadth of influence and new creative insight to inform and enhance an ambitious vision for the discipline area that is firmly committed to social purpose, fairness and cultural representation. 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.

This perspective is reflected in the community of teaching and technical staff that input into the BA Fine Art course.
