Who can join CSM Short Course Jewellery Programme?

In-Person Option: The Central Saint Martins (CSM) Short Course Jewellery Programme offers an in-person option exclusively for Hong Kong-based students. Divided into two parts, the curriculum includes design and research-based courses (Part 1) and workshop-based courses (Part 2). Students will develop their design skills, research abilities, and analytical thinking. They will learn traditional silver and goldsmithing techniques in hands-on workshops and create a final collection project presented in a 3D format. This program serves as a comprehensive introduction to arts higher education and is suitable for those interested in starting their own brands or pursuing a degree in jewellery or applied arts.

Fully Online Option: The CSM Short Course Jewellery Programme now offers a fully online option for students worldwide. The curriculum focuses on design and research-based courses, with an emphasis on online illustration (rendering) and technical drawing skills. Led by HJI's founder, Nathalie Melville, and in collaboration with the CSM course leader, students will follow a digitally-led schedule. The final collection project will be presented in a 2D format, showcasing students' proficiency in illustration and technical drawing. This option allows non-Hong Kong students to participate and provides a specialized rendering-focused course experience.
