Central Sant Martin's college of Art and Design ....... back to the school :)

Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design is widely regarded as one of the leading Art and Design institutions in the world. CSM was formed in 1989 from the merger of Central School of Art and Design, founded in 1896, and Saint Martins School of Art, founded in 1854. Central Saint Martins became a constituent College of the London Institute in 1986, a federal body formed by the Inner London Education Authority to bring together London's art, design, fashion and media schools into a collegiate structure for administrative purposes. The London Institute was granted University status and was renamed University of the Arts London in 2004. The Drama Centre London, founded in 1963, and the Byam Shaw School of Art, founded in 1910, joined Central Saint Martins in 1999 and 2003 as integral schools, maintaining their individual titles and teaching approaches. Central Saint Martins is currently collaborating with the London Studio Centre to develop new courses in dance and related disciplines.

Central Saint Martins remains one of London's most revered art and design institutions, producing some of the most important artists, designers and performers over the last 150 years and has developed an internationally recognised research profile as rated in the Research Assessment Exercise in 2001.The Queen's Anniversary Prize was awarded to Central Saint Martins for its significant contributions to the UK fashion industry and for nurturing the creativity of students in 1998. Central Saint Martins also attained Skillset Media Academy status in 2007, recognising the achievements in the area of media and interactive design.

Central Saint Martins establishes links between artistic practice, leading to research projects and employs graduates onto national and international design consultancy schemes through its Innovation Centre and Design Laboratory. Central Saint Martins has become one of the largest providers of art and design education in the world and has registered museum status for its historical and contemporary collections.
