What students say about music-composition

Vocal Performance is the best course for me -is excellent and I feel treated like professional. There are many opportunities to work with conductors and musicians, and the access to practice rooms, the library, and performance halls, mics organized and regular 121. I would love more opportunities for concerts and performances.

What students say about music-composition

Stuck in the heart of London, LCCM was amazing for a budding musician like myself. I found the location incredible, as I didn't feel stuck within a university campus. The tutors are all full time musicians, and have tons of experience within the business. I would highly recommend this course! It was the best three years of my life.

I am thoroughly enjoying studying at Portsmouth University, although i have struggled throughout my time here with mental health problems all the staff in every department have been amazing and without their incredible support im not sure i would have reached my third year and be looking at graduating! i cant praise them higher, it is an incredible university that treats every student the same no matter who they are, where they are from or any disabilities they may have.

What students say about music-composition

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

What students say about music-composition

Great university located in a beautiful coastal town. The staff are kind and supportive, and there to help students in times of need. The SU organises events which support students, like the free pantry on Mondays, where those of us who are struggling due to cost of living can take food for free . Additionally, there are many facilities, like the printing room and the MAC suite, which students can use to help them with their course work material. Overall a lovely place filled with amazing people, but awful prices. The campus art shop, while handy, has high prices and the canteen food is extremely pricey too. They also do not accept any cash, which can be a hassle.

What students say about music-composition

Overall ICMP definitely shaped me into the musician that I am, one of the biggest things I love about it is the community. I feel like you could be around such great musicians but community also needs to be a big part of that and I feel like I made friends for life and there are teachers that inspire me so much.
