BIMM Institute

We understand that sometimes you might want a helping hand. That’s why our friendly and fantastic support network is here should you ever need it.

Whether it’s a problem with your study skills, your course, mental health or student life, our teams are always here to offer confidential support and guidance.

Each of our eight colleges has a Student Support team. The size of the teams vary depending on the size of the college, but offer every student a named contact within each team; someone who’s there to support you and who understands the individual demands required by your specific course.

You’re never alone when you’re at BIMM. Our community makes sure of that.

Supporting Your Journey

We work hard to make sure you have access to the support you need to succeed throughout your studies.

That’s why we have schemes in place to help you before you start and while you’re here. Our full-time team are fully trained professionals and always ready to listen, help and put in place action plans when needed.

We’re committed to a policy of equal opportunities. This means we aim to make all our services available to every student, regardless of background, culture, gender or sexuality. Discover some of the ways we help our students below.

We’re also here to help with any queries or troubles you might have about housing and funding. Our Student Services Teams have access to training and resources which gives us the ability to offer advice and guidance on life outside the college.

For example, if you have questions about your tenancy agreement, or want to make sure you’re receiving the maximum funding available to you, make an appointment to come and see us. If you hit a crisis, ask us about the BIMM Hardship Fund, which is available to students who require short-term financial help in an emergency.

At BIMM Institute, we work closely with our music industry partners and we understand what employers need; broad and flexible skills, high-quality work experience and a wide network of contacts.

When you study with us you will be encouraged to think big and take risks. Employers want to see that you can demonstrate your passion for your chosen career path, which is why all our students learn by doing.
