Central Saint Martins Birkbeck

Central Saint Martins main campus is based in King’s Cross. The institution thinks inspiration can be found in every pocket of London. Artist-run spaces sit alongside world-renowned arts institutions; West End theatres can be found next to independent galleries; artist and design studios have been established everywhere – from car parks to old tube carriages. Across the UK capital, creative communities are charting the cultural map of the future. Across art, design and performance, their students create the ideas, materials and actions for a better future.

We are known throughout the world for discovering extraordinary things, extraordinary ideas and, most of all, extraordinary people. We are known for breaking new ground and asking difficult questions. We aspire to give our students the confidence to unearth ideas and formations which might provoke and disturb accepted norms. We so all this because we believe that art, performance and design can generate real, productive change.
