Course content

A pioneering course exploring the creative relationships between art and science, addressing the rapidly evolving landscape of interdisciplinary art practice.

You will explore the making and presentation of your work and pursue innovative outcomes in practice and research. This course is part of the Art programme.

Why choose this course at Central Saint Martins:

  • Interdisciplinary practice: The course structure foregrounds interdisciplinary thinking and practice, and supports students to build working relationships with artists, scientists, curators and other professional practitioners in the fields of art and science.
  • Institutional networks: You will benefit from established links with museums, galleries and collections. Over the years we have developed collaborative projects with external organisations including the Arts Catalyst, the British Library, the Royal Society, Animate Projects, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Joya: art and ecology, and Imperial College iScience.
  • Dynamic teaching: We encourage an interrogation of the relationship between the studio, the laboratory, and the field. The MA Art and Science studios are located in an independent building at our Archway campus. You will attend lectures and participate in seminars which provide a critical context for your research and practical work. These are complemented by access to specialist workshops, facilities, and places of particular interest at both Archway and the King's Cross campus.
  • Exhibiting opportunities: You will take part in exhibitions and a symposium that bring together staff, peers, professional practitioners, critics, and the wider postgraduate community.
