BIMM Connect: The Social Network for music
As the most connected music college in Europe, BIMM prides itself on providing students and alumni with an environment in which to meet, network and collaborate with like-minded musicians, creatives and businesses. Now, we’re taking this connectivity to the next level – with the launch of BIMM Connect.
BIMM Connect is your exclusive social networking platform and home to Europe’s largest private community of music students and graduates. With a current subscription of over 5,600 verified users from across our student, alumni and staff community, this remarkable group of inspiring and accomplished individuals is available now for our higher education cohorts and alumni to connect and network with.
Aside from linking users to thousands of potential creative opportunities across each of our campuses, this 100% free service delivers a range of valuable tools to help you achieve your creative potential and career goals; including a jobs board, events page, group forums and opportunities to showcase and promote your work. Plus lots of other resources aimed at getting you the right information when you need it.
And that’s not all. BIMM Connect also acts as a direct line of contact with your local Careers & Industry and Student Support teams, meaning it couldn’t be easier to locate the right person for whatever questions or issues you may have.
“I am massively excited to offer BIMM Connect to our incoming HE students at enrolment this year.” Said BIMM Business Development Manager Anthony Giles. “It’s a really excellent tool to unite the entire BIMM family, making it easier to reach fellow BIMMers all around the world! I am also excited about what is still to come – with lots of ideas to develop the platform functions in new and improved ways, open it up to even more students over the coming year.”
Mel Thornton, BIMM Head of Careers and Employability, also commented on the advent of the BIMM Connect platform, saying;
“BIMM is known as a centre of excellence for employability and BIMM Connect will serve to enhance all aspects of careers support for students.
