London and Milan are synonymous with great art and design. When people talk of cities that have generated the most famous creative people and innovative work you can be sure that London and Milan appear at the top of the list. Both cities have some of the best fashion, art and retail experiences, exceptional architecture and are home for some of the world's top design companies. If you are a beginner and wish to build a portfolio and sample a real design school atmospheres at CSM and our partner institution, NABA, or an experienced student or designer who wishes to build upon existing skills at CSM and at our other partner institution, Domus Academy, then there will be a course in our 2012 programme for you.
