ACM has been great to study in and has put me in a really great position to start my career in music production. All of the lecturers teaching my course are really knowledgeable and give you so much information to take into the studio and put into practice. The most useful thing has definitely been the access to the recording studios, as I've been able to book in multiple times a week and record with people in proper recording studios. It's such an easy place to find people to work with because all of the people on the performance courses are constantly writing and wanting to release. The equipment is all studio-standard stuff, so it's been a perfect place to practice while looking for studio work. The campus itself and the staff are all really great and just overall a very good experience!

The course content was really varied and a good experience. They get you to learn about all the different parts of music production so that you've got a broad knowledge when you leave your degree. The collab element of the course gives you the opportunity to work with other people in a way that replicates how you'll need to work in the industry and gives you the opportunity to do some performance as well if you want. You get a good amount of time in lectures doing different skills units and core modules, and then if you want more time, you can book 1-1 sessions with your lecturers to go over anything you want, so you're really not short of time with them. The internship opportunities and career prospects are really good for production here. I did an internship with the tech team and now work full-time as a technician and do studio production for the different outreach projects that the uni does. For students who do really well in production, you have loads of opportunities to get into Metropolis as well, and there's a possibility that you could do an internship there as well - although this is only for the best ACM has to offer.

Firstly I’d like to say the tutors are amazing and you can learn a lot by asking the right questions, but it’s a shame how the place is setup by overlord excecs at the top that control everything, I’ve spoke to countless tutors and employees from a multitude of specialisms and they all confirm my suspicions that the acm bosses do not know what is in the best interest for the students (or do not care). Acm has a fantastic foundation having lots of recording spaces, over qualified tutors, student support hub etc and I can not forget sue. Unfortunately the execution is poor, students and tutors all agree on the same things that need to be put in place to improve acm not just for the students but also for the longevity of the place, if acm genuinely want to produce the best in the business and actually live up to the motto (I’ll let you look that up) then the execs need to get their heads out of their temporary money printers and look to the future. I have so many examples of area of improvement that it will take me too long to write here. I’m told there are some significant changes coming but I’m afraid they will be implemented to late. If you are a person who is not afraid to ask questions 1 to 1 then this place will get you a long way but with all lectures being power points on zoom, assignment briefs loosely related to the modules, half of classes being online and no clear reinvestment into the gaff 11ish bags A YEAR and no real specialised modules for the different pathways being afraid to ask questions will definitely hold you back. Time will tell

All lectures are online 2 modules so far being entirely online. Lectures are extremely knowledgeable when you ask on specifics.
