Due to BIMMs global reputation, (over 1,200 overseas students from across the world), the college also attract artists from the top bands to give masterclasses (Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Radiohead, Pink Floyd and many, many more). There are usually two or three masterclasses per week as well as many other student events including music industry sessions and live gigs in the city of each campus.
