At BIMM you will be part of a creative community that gives you the best opportunity to get the most out of your talent and work in one of the world’s biggest and most celebrated industries. Location is vital to breaking into the music industry and BIMM has eight colleges where music matters most – London, Berlin, Hamburg, Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin.

BIMM is Europe’s largest and most prestigious music institute: 7000+ students and teaching for over 35 years.

All colleges focus on full-time further, higher and post-graduate education courses in guitar, drums, bass, song writing, vocals, electronic music production, music and sound production, music business event management and music marketing, media, and communication.

As seven of the eight campuses offer the same degree courses, students can choose, if they wish, to have a two-city experience in the UK and Germany. (If a student chooses to study a one-year diploma first, they can progress onto a degree course at a campus of their choice). 

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.

From a survey of students who graduated, 83% are working in the music and creative industries six months after graduation.
