ACM's lecture's, facilities and links to industry are what separates this university from others. Instead of sticking to a rigid standard syllabus, learning from those who are working successfully in industry means your course is shaped to current and future trends in the music industry, allowing you to be right on the pulse when you graduate - I also used them to establish a solid database of influential contacts. Regardless of what course you are on, make use of all the facilities on offer. I was a business student, but could book tutorials with performance tutors to further my guitar skills. I wish I made use of Teaching Control and the SSL Studio - a professional working studio could charge a fortune to hire out that standard of gear!

Gear is top of the range. Tonnes of practice space. Numerous studios. Good tech team - it all worked a treat!

I didn't necessarily need the support that ACM offered, but had friends that did require it and only had good words to say!

There wasn't an SU when I was a student at ACM. However, they have since opened one due to high demand - Good to hear they listened to student concerns. Now I'm a little jealous if anything!

Guildford ha a great music scene due to all the ACM music students. It's a solid stop on any bands tour as well with venues like the Boileroom. Half hour train into London too so pretty commutable.

Tonnes of out of lecture workshops // hosted nights // jam nights etc.

Always on point, still using knowledge I learnt from lectures.

Several opportunities to intern, through tutor contacts and IndustryLink.

As with the SU, ACM didn't offer halls when I was studying but did offer a comprehensive list of private landlords and estate agents. In my second year I was fortunate enough to be able to live at home to save costs, but I'm pretty sure they've now got halls with the YMCA and SCAPE, so once again, glad they're improving the student experience. Halls would have been really fun!

First year student studying cmp been a great year so far learnt so much more than I ever have. This is the only educational course I've ever properly enjoyed this is due to the high standard of teaching and facility's ! It's a great place to learn.

Industry link is brilliant for new opportinitys and experiences !
