Aspiring lyricists and composers will love our practical songwriting programme. During this year-long musical adventure, you’ll be based in one of our exciting Creative Capitals: London or Berlin. Whichever city you choose, you’ll be surrounded by a diverse array of artists and a rich musical history.

Berlin may be famous for its thriving techno scene, but you will find every music genre imaginable here today, with venues and festivals that cater to every taste. Similarly, London has become renowned not only for rock, but for grime, rap, and even electronic music. Both house major record labels, promoters and agents, meaning that your path to success may be just around the corner.

If you’re someone who thrives on action, experimentation and pushing boundaries, BIMM University is the right choice for you. We want to help you bring your wildest ideas to life, and equip you with the resources, knowledge and connections to do just that. You can attend our legendary masterclasses, and you’ll be taught by lecturers who actively work in the creative industries.

We pride ourselves on our state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge equipment. Our London campus even features five dedicated production/mixing/songwriting booths in which you can write, record and edit original tracks.
