methodologies. The English language tuition
is provided by visiting staff from the UAL
Language Centre with emphasis on speak-
ing and listening skills within the context

ment. A short research based project

language and research developments in
their completed portfolios.

Idea generation projects
and worksheets
Life drawing
3D construction projects
Painting and colour theory

includes observational, analytical and
research skills, the control of materials and
processes in the realisation of ideas, the
capacity to evaluate your work and the work
of others and to establish communication
skills with particular reference to studio
language. The course also includes visits
to galleries and museums on research
projects. Once the students have completed
all their projects, the nal part of the course
will involve selecting, mounting and
presenting a portfolio in preparation for
interview.

Students will be expected to provide their
own materials for drawing; all specialist
materials will be provided.
ARCHI TECTURE
PORTFOLI O
This course will provide students with an introduction to the concepts and
practices of thinking and designing in three dimensions. Though this is
an Architecture portfolio course, students will address the spatial qualities
of interior and exterior spaces and the user requirements of these different
environments, both of which are the key skills for any architecture, spatial
or interior design undergraduate programme.

For students planning on applying to
BA Architecture you will need GCSE
Maths + Science, grade C or above AND
A-level grades ABB or above.

Course Structure
The Architecture Portfolio course enables
students to construct a portfolio of work
that can be used to make an application for
study on an undergraduate architecture or
related spatial or interior design programme.
Through a series of briefs, workshops, lec-
tures and visits students will develop
their research, design and communication
skills to develop proposals for architectural
and spatial outcomes. This course will ask
students to explore the historical and
ideological context for the built environment
as they begin to consider the use of
technology and materials in its fabrication.
By the end of the course students will
have developed new practical and
conceptual skills that will allow them
to create a portfolio that expresses their
own creative approach within the
conventions of architectural and spatial
communication.
The course aims to serve the
needs and ambitions of two
main student groups:
Those seeking to build a portfolio for
application to BA Architecture or related
course based on designing in three
dimensions
Professionals seeking to renew their
creativity through personal projects, new
processes and produce a fresh portfolio.
The Architecture Design Portfolio Course
is a full-time course providing two days
tuition per week across three ten-week
terms. Each term is a separate course
that is taught on a progressive basis,
providing the opportunity to study for up
to one academic year. It is possible for
students to join this Architecture Portfolio
on course 2 or 3 but to do so you will
have to show that you have reached the
appropriate skill level and that your portfolio
already contains a signicant amount
of well-developed work. Most students need
between 6 months and one year to build up
a complete portfolio.
FASHI ON
FOLI O
The objective of this highly intensive fashion programme is for students to produce
their best portfolio of work possible in order to gain a place on an undergraduate
or postgraduate degree course at Central Saint Martins or elsewhere. You will
be given advice about future studies and follow projects that will create a portfolio
that represents your own personal approach to fashion and communication.
You will push your understanding of fashion and challenge your preconceived ideas
of how to design garments by putting making, experimention, research and
unique presentation skills at the heart of everything you do. You will be expected
to work hard, nd inspiration in new and unexpected places and identify your
strengths whilst learning to overcome your limitations.

course starting in February, (like the majority
of applicants), then you will complete a full
academic year of study, ending in January
2013. The rst stage of the year-long pro-
gramme is taught progressively with practical
and technical skills being covered between
February and June as you start to produce
work for your nal portfolio. These skills will
then be applied to the projects that will form
the bulk of your portfolio in the second part
of the programme.
Stage 2: The skills formed in Stage 1 will
be integral to developing the projects that
will form the bulk of the portfolio you create
in Stage 2 of the programme between
October and January. This will give you the

apply for the BA and MA courses.

CHRI STMAS,
EASTER
& SUMMER
SCHOOLS
If you live abroad, want to make your holiday educational or just fancy being
a full-time student for a week or two to experience Central Saint Martins
teaching, then you can join our courses that run during Christmas, Easter and
summer vacations.
These short daytime courses typically run from Monday to Friday and
are in many cases compressed duplicates of our term-time courses.
We also offer a selection of evening courses available in the summer for those
students that can only attend in the evenings after work.
Christmas School
Just before Christmas we run 1 or 2 weeks
of 5-day, weekday courses for 18s and over
and specialist courses for 16 to 18 year
olds.
Easter School
Mid-March to mid-April we run 4 weeks of
4 and 5 day, weekday courses for 18s
and over and specialist courses for 16 to
18 year olds.
Summer School
For July to September we offer a range of 1,
2 and 3 week full-time, weekday courses
and a selection of 4-week intensive evening
courses for 18s and over and specialist
courses for 16 to 18 year olds.
Residential Courses for Under 18s
To meet the needs of our younger audience
Central Saint Martins has created a range
of short, residential courses. The aim is to
give students aged 1317 years old an
experience of art school in order to build
skills and develop new work for their port-
folio. Using the talents of our Foundation
and short course tutors, these courses are
either two or three weeks long and involve
practical designing and making.
Some facts about Short Courses
at Central Saint Martins:
Class sizes are limited to allow as much
interaction between you, your tutor and
your fellow students as possible.
We monitor our performance by reviewing
feedback from previous students so that
we can create the best courses.
All the prots generated by our short
courses are returned to the college to
support academic activities and the
learning environment to the benet of
students and the wider community.
Our courses are practical and involving,
so expect to get out of a course exactly
what you put in your enthusiasm and
willingness to ask questions will be well
rewarded.

EVENI NG
& WEEKEND
SHORT
COURSES
Central Saint Martins has been offering short courses geared towards
professional development and academic advancement since 1986.
We now run a huge range of term-time evening, daytime, Saturday,
weekend and online courses in many subjects to help build your skill set.
They range from two-and-a-half hours per evening over eight or ten weeks
to Saturday courses over 5 weeks and 2-day weekend courses.
These courses can help you build a portfolio for applications
for further study, improve your current skills or provide a fun opportunity
to learn something new.
Our large faculty of tutors is comprised of
leaders in the eld with a passion for
providing quality education. Many are also
currently teaching in the University of the
Arts on degree programmes or are previous
graduates.
Not everyone can commit time to the
Portfolio Preparation courses, and some
people prefer to test their ability and explore
different disciplines before they make
what can be a life changing decision. For
others a portfolio is not the outcome they
are looking for; they simply wish to take
a course for personal interest or professional
development. For these people we hope
that this approach to offering short courses
will meet the needs of everyone.
Short courses are open to all students and
in most cases you do not need any previous
experience.
Online Courses:
Our online short courses were launched
in 2011 and are growing fast with a unique
interactive online class held at the same
time and in the same buildings, with the
same tutors as our regular evening classes.
Through a place on an online course you
can experience Central Saint Martins Short
courses wherever you are in the world!
Weekend Courses:
This year weve launched our newest
courses 2-day weekend courses. These
courses cover a wide range of subjects
and are perfect for busy students based
both in and out of the UK. Come join us for
a weekend and take advantage of these
very short, but intense courses that provide
the full Central Saint Martins experience.
