What students say about music-arrangement

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.

What students say about music-arrangement

I've absolutely loved it - it's been tough in parts - zoom music lessons are not ideal, and the whole of second semester being online was very difficult. However, the hours that we have had in person have been amazing - the teaching is fantastic, and access to opportunities is wonderful. We were able to do our final recitals in person, and even now they're over, there are still lots of concerts and performance opportunities within all areas of music.

What students say about music-arrangement

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.

What students say about music-arrangement

The staff are absolutely amazing, the course is excellent, student life is bustling. They could improve their social media presence and marketing in general. It'd be nice to see a stronger bigger reputation for this place really. It'd be ideal if they taught us about social media and how best to use it, as it is SO IMPORTANT for musicians to know!

Best aspects are the quality of education, facilities, good student support meanwhile worst aspects are problems with websites, and some transactions/processes. Although I wouldn't call it "worst", more free seatings and tables out of the faculties that didn't belong to a brand or place would be nicer.

What students say about music-arrangement

I’m enjoying very much the whole experience of university. Even though this year has been quite different from what we are used to, the university that I attend has done everything to try to make as normal as possible. I believe this three years are going to be one of the best of my life.

What students say about music-arrangement

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.
