CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS,
Central Saint Martins offers one of the most diverse and comprehensive ranges of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and research degrees in art and design in the UK.
The MA Art and Science offers a structured opportunity to investigate the contemporary and historical context of art and science, embracing the spectrum of inquiry, interaction, and creative endeavour. Through their work, artists and scientists contribute to a greater understanding of what it is to be human and how we relate to the world around us: both require creative insight in their quest for knowledge and the desire to communicate. This course explores research and practice across diverse disciplinary fields and interrogates the social and cultural implications of discovery and invention.
The MA in Character Animation at Central Saint Martins is the leading course in storytelling animation in the UK. The course has developed from a 6 month Certificate, through a year long Diploma to the MA we know and love today. By taking a methodical approach to animation acting and storytelling, its students produce little gems of films that travel the world. Their films are witty, dynamic and unique and never get stuck with a label or house style. Their students are team players and talented individualists, who go on to work in all areas of the animation industry.
