ICMP, with campuses in London, Liverpool and Leeds, has been developing and delivering music education and training to students of contemporary music for more than 35 years, longer than any other UK music school.
Key to our philosophy is the understanding that every student is unique. We have always focused on the needs and potential of individual students, ensuring that the music education we provide is tailored and personalised, giving you the best chance of success in the competitive and challenging environment of the music industry.
In November 2021, ICMP was successfully awarded Full Degree Awarding Powers. This means that since September 2022, we've taken full responsibility for the academic integrity and standards of our programmes, and the awarding of our undergraduate music courses and postgraduate music courses since September 2022.
Recent developments have seen us expand our teaching into the areas of Electronic Music Production, Live Event Management and Music Marketing.
