Music Business degrees in Birmingham

Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.

It has amazing facilities for recording and rehearsing and is open all year round through summer and holidays if you want to work on anything for yourself or for the courses. It has two studios, lots of mac suites with access to logic pro and production software. It has an amazing community of people and everyone gets along with everyone including the staff who are great to talk to. Staff all have a wide range of experience in the music industry and can give valuable advice and support with your studies and futures outside of ACM. They help with opportunities and live performances and are always happy to help with mental health and well being if you are struggling with their wellbeing team!

My experience at BIMM University has been a mix of inspiring and frustrating. The best part is being around so many creative, driven musicians, it really pushes you to level up. The course is very industry-focused, with loads of chances to perform, collaborate and network, and most lecturers actually work in the industry, which helps. On the downside, organisation and communication can be a bit messy at times, especially around assessments. It’s also not super academic. Overall, it’s great if you’re self-motivated and serious about music, but you definitely have to take initiative.
