Course Leader BA (Hons) Architecture

Why choose us?:

Central Saint Martins is a world-leading centre for arts and design education.  Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally.  The nine programmes at CSM explore the boundaries of their discipline.  Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas, and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject, so emerging work is at the forefront of its area.  CSM sits at the heart of London’s creative scene, and of one of Europe’s most dynamic new culture and innovation quarters at King’s Cross, making the college increasingly important to London’s cultural life, and indicative of our general desire to open up CSM to as broad an audience as possible. 

The role:

As Course Leader you will provide a highly stimulating and supportive environment for students and colleagues alike. You will be responsible for assuring the academic standards of the course and its delivery through your academic leadership and the effective management of resources.
You will contribute actively as part of our team, sharing your knowledge with staff and students.
Through your excellent professional networks, you will ensure the continuous development of the course by reflecting critically on broader contexts of architectural practice and educational provision internationally.

Your profile:

You are a highly skilled, enthusiastic and energetic individual who wishes to embrace the opportunities to work, share, and exchange knowledge and skills within this dynamic and creative arts and design practice environment. You have excellent leadership abilities, great communication skills and experience in building and nurturing strong and vibrant cultures of learning.

Creative and highly motivated, you will have detailed knowledge and understanding of design practices and processes in relation to architecture, and a keen awareness of contemporary concerns and debates within both the profession of architecture, the built environment and the city. You will be regarded as a leading authority within your field and will hold both an Undergraduate and a Postgraduate Degree in Architecture. You will be a registered architect as well as an experienced academic, with an inventive approach to students’ learning experience and high aspirations for their achievement, their professional futures and the course’s advancement internationally.
