About BIMM Music Institute

Opening the doors to the creative industries since 1983

BIMM Music Institute opens doors to the music industry. With seven colleges based in culturally vibrant cities across the UK, Ireland and Germany, we are Europe’s most connected music institute. For over 40 years we have been encouraging creative freedom and providing real-world industry experiences, thanks to our high-end facilities, incredible lecturers and unrivalled network of connections.

With courses spanning the full spectrum of the music industry—from performance to business, from production to event management, from songwriting to marketing—each of our colleges presents an ecosystem in which students can realise ambitious projects within their discipline or in collaboration with others. We pride ourselves on our graduate success stories and on the transferable skills and professionalism our alumni display.

BIMM Music Institute is part of BIMM University – a group of colleges that offers music, film and performing arts courses at diploma, degree and masters level.

1983

This is when it all began. We started life as Drumtech (now BIMM London). Little did we know where this would take us!

2000-2005

Things started to ramp up as we launched Brighton Institute of Modern Music (aka BIMM Brighton). BIMM alumni The Kooks release Inside In/Inside Out.

2006-2010

Where to start? BIMM graduate Kate Walsh became the first unsigned artist to go to No.1 in the iTunes chart. BIMM Bristol opens; James Bay joins BIMM Brighton and Lemmy also visits us.

2011-2015

We expanded a ton during this time, with BIMM Dublin, Manchester and Berlin opening. In other news, Brian May visited us in Brighton and Tech Music School becomes BIMM London.

2016-2020

Graduate Natasha Bent joined the ‘Women in Music’ Roll of Honour, and Nile Rogers and Stormzy visited our colleges. Graduate Ella Mai wins a Grammy and George Ezra wins best British Male Artist at the Brit Awards.
