Innovative Leap: Graduate Showcase 2022 - Exclusive Preview

We invite you to join an exclusive preview of the MA Innovation Management graduate showcase. The event will be taking place on Wednesday June 8th at Samsung KX Coal Drops Yard from 4PM-8PM.

As we come to the end of our academic journey at Central Saint Martins, we are kick starting our final degree showcase, The Not Yet, with an exclusive event exploring the theoretical landscape of innovation and how this intersects with the practical realities of management in businesses today and in the future.
