About BIMM - British and Irish Modern Music Institute

PROS

  • Small class sizes are favoured by BIMM in the majority of their locations, with most students reporting class sizes of fewer than 20 people.
  • One of the most popular aspects of BIMM is their business -based approach that teaches students how to earn money with their passion for music and performance.
  • Each BIMM location is situated in a popular student city, which include: London, Brighton, Dublin, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Hamburg, and Berlin.

CONS

  • There is a general impression that the institute does not help you to find work, and that it fails to deliver on their promise to improve employment prospects for music professionals due to a lack of a functioning work experience programme.
  • There could be more rehearsal spaces, according to students. This is particularly inconvenient for drummers and bands due to the high volumes that they unavoidably have to play at.

    [Published 01 January, 2023]

“Right now I’m in the middle of my second year on the college’s singer/songwriter programme, and I love how much creative freedom we’re given. Even so, I think the college needs to listen more to what students need in some cases, because if it’s a specialised school but doesn’t accommodate all of our needs then something is wrong.”

“I think that music theory is not taken seriously enough here in the academic sense, and I’d like to see them give it more importance. The most useful aspect of studying here for me has been learning how to conduct myself in business terms, and how to make a living with my music skills.”
