Music degrees in North West England

I think that the location and lecturers at BIMM London are amazing, however the campus does not have as much atmosphere as other Universities I have visited. I also do not believe that there is enough spaces for students to spend breaks and study or socialise around the campus apart from the cafe - which is quite small anyway. I think that BIMM London would definitely benefit from having more areas for students to relax and ‘chill’ in between lessons as Fulham Broadway is quite busy and has more commercial areas than places for students to enjoy. Other than that I think that BIMM London is an amazing university and gives students amazing opportunities.

LIPA is a prestigious institution with a lovely feel in both the building and between students. The staff on the Applied Theatre and Community Drama course are excellent and mainly still practicing facilitators and directors in the field. So gaining their knowledge has been very useful to my practice. However, I have always felt a sense of frustration within the institution as lectures have professional experience but seem to lack teacher training. I never felt prepared for written work as criteria wasn’t broken down or explained. All staff on the course within my third year are part time which has been a challenge when trying to contact or ask for support. Unfortunately, Applied Theatre is no longer being taught at LIPA therefore, concerns me and my cohort have raised regarding the organisation and the teaching don’t seem to have been taken seriously. I believe that every course should have at least one full time member of staff. And I also think that the student voice at LIPA (who are mainly full time students) should not be solely responsible for student queries. More members of staff in this area should be present and around with office doors open and accessible to all.

ICMP helped me achieve my dream comes true. I have been far from the education for a very long time and ICMP helped me achieve my wishes, even with the age of 63 years old. THANK YOU, ICMP I WILL NEVER FORGET THE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS I HAD.

It's a good place for study, but it doesn't have the "uni life" aspects of it so don't expect that. It has good support for student and free counselling. You'll get a more hands on tutoring in smaller classes and it can be really fun. Some of the newer tutors right now are bringing the experience for me down a bit but hopefully that will be improved.

I have enjoyed my first year but I’m also looking forward to getting to learn in the building. I think that’ll make a big difference for me. Because this is a music course I think it does really rely on being in person. However, the university and the teachers have adapted extremely well given the current circumstances.
