What students say about music-composition

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

What students say about music-composition

The lecturers are very nice and knowledgeable. There’s great student support available through the wellbeing hub as well as assessment support and tutorials. Many interesting masterclasses with industry professionals are given. The main point of improvement is the building. The windows need to be completely redone due to a mold problem and some of the air conditioners don’t work properly.

What students say about music-composition

Best experiences include opportunities and practical application of learning. Worst aspects have been a lack of connections to the industry and unorganised management team (late and wrong timetabling, deadline issues)

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.

What students say about music-composition

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.
