ABOUT BIMM
AT BIMM YOU WILL BE PART OF A
CREATIVE COMMUNITY THAT GIVES
YOU THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
THE MOST OF YOUR TALENT AND WORK
IN ONE OF BRITAIN’S BIGGEST AND
MOST CELEBRATED INDUSTRIES.
The British music industry is worth over £4bn
annually and employs over 140,000 people.
For over 10 years, BIMM has been producing
some of the industry’s brightest talents,
from best-selling artists such as Tom Odell
to leading songwriters, musicians, agents,
producers, journalists, business professionals
and major-label managers.
Location is vital to breaking into the music
industry, so we have based our five institutes
in Bristol, London, Brighton, Manchester
and Dublin. These cities have thriving music
scenes that allow you to make the most of
our world-class connections and to help
you have the best possible experience of
what life is like in the music industry. In this
creative environment you can network and
develop lifelong contacts while performing
and staging gigs at local venues and festivals,
as well as working with record labels, music
producers and rehearsal studios.
All of our colleges offer fully accredited
courses and are QAA-assured. Our tutors
are experts in their fields and still tour,
play and produce music with some of the
biggest recording artists in the world such as
Radiohead, Paul Weller, Madonna and Paul
McCartney.
WHY BRISTOL?
A thriving underground music and arts scene
is at the heart of Bristol life, where individuality
is celebrated and creativity rewarded. With
a large student population, a love of live
music and some of the UK’s best bars and
shops, Bristol is the perfect place to immerse
yourself. The city and surrounding area hosts
a multitude of festivals including the worldrenowned Glastonbury. In 2010 a Performing
Rights Society (PRS) study discovered that
more working musicians have come from
Bristol than any other city in the UK.
“I got a real sense of what various
careers involve, had a lot of fun and
met some great people”

BRISTOL
THE PLACE TO STUDY
MUSIC IS AT BRISTOL’S VERY CORE. BRITAIN’S FIFTHLARGEST CITY IS HOME TO INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS
MASSIVE ATTACK, PORTISHEAD, RONI SIZE, JULIO
BASHMORE AND TRICKY.
WITH 23 RECORDING STUDIOS AND FIVE MAJOR
MUSIC FESTIVALS BASED IN THE AREA*, BRISTOL IS

encouraged to better
ourselves [at BIMM], to

Every night of the week you’ll hear the
sound of live music across the city. From
up-and-coming artists performing in Stokes
Croft – home to performance spaces, openmic nights, various venues and a glorious
selection of care-worn pubs that have live
music whatever the season – to international
acts at the O2 Academy, Colston Hall and
Bristol’s famous floating venue down on the
dockside, the Thekla.
Bristol has hundreds of venues, bars, pubs
and clubs within the city’s boundaries – and
many of the bands and artists playing these
venues passed through BIMM. Throughout
the year the city and surrounding area host
numerous music festivals, including the
legendary Dot to Dot, Big Chill, ArcTanGent,
2000trees and Harbour Festival – and don’t
forget that Glastonbury is just down the road.
The countercultural edge survives in Bristol
in a very real way, with new music, art and
literature being generated across the city at
all times. Whether it’s a secret warehouse gig
in Easton, a new underground club or VIP
night on the Gloucester Road, leftfield art
exhibitions or pop-up graffiti shows, Bristol’s
focus is on that most enigmatic of qualities:
authenticity.

STUDENT LOANS
At BIMM we have ensured that our degreecourse tuition fees offer exceptional value
for our students, with all of our three-year
HE courses priced at under £6,000 per
annum for UK and EU students.
For most students studying a degreelevel course, tuition fees can be covered
by a student loan from the Student Loans
Company. BIMM continue to be able to offer
loans through the Student Loans Company as
we have been fully QAA assessed which is a
requirement of the government to be able to
offer student loans on a continuing basis.
Both UK and EU students are eligible to
apply for a student loan. You can find out
more information on the guidelines of and
how to apply for a student loan at
www.slc.co.uk. The government also provides
useful information on student finance at
www.gov.uk/student-finance.
34
Student loans for Tuition fees provided by
the Student Loan Company will cover a
maximum of £6,000 of fees per annum, if
you are eligible for a loan. Where the annual
course fees are in excess of £6,000, the
balance must be paid by the student prior to
enrolling each academic year.
REPAYMENTS
Your repayments are linked to your income.
You only make repayments when your
income is over £21,000 a year, and if your
income drops below this amount repayments
stop. Each month you pay back 9% of any
income over £21,000, this would work out
at approximately £30 per month if you were
earning £25,000 per year.
For more information on loans or any
queries you may have on tuition fees and
student finance please contact the BIMM
finance team on 08442 646 666 or by
emailing [email protected].
