Take a Self-Guided Virtual Tour

Ultimately, career success comes down to the actions you take – but we can provide you with the skills, knowledge, insight, understanding, and contact network you’ll need to make the right moves. Over 94% of ICMP graduates are in employment or further education within six months of graduating, going on to earn an average salary of £24,000 – which is £5,000 higher than other UK music students*.

The course you choose will be tailored to your chosen career outcomes, and our Careers and Industry Hub will provide all the support you need, even long after you graduate. The Hub team works tirelessly to connect ICMP students to the latest industry opportunities, and offers tailored advice and guidance to give you the best possible chance of success.

Throughout your studies, we bring the music industry into your classroom through our outstanding faculty of tutors and mentors. We also connect ICMP students to the industry (and each other) through an extensive collection of partnerships, activities, and special events such as auditions, showcases, 1:1 A&R sessions, panel talks, masterclasses, clinics, guest lectures, “speed networking” events, and more.

ICMP’s teaching faculty is made up of highly experienced music professionals, performers, artists, producers, songwriters, business experts, entrepreneurs, and academics. They are all deeply passionate and qualified educators, and have built a creative community that’s designed to support the next generation of music industry professionals.

As an ICMP student, your studies and career will be guided by music and creative industry insiders who bring decades of first-hand experience directly into your classroom. You’ll also be able to attend regular masterclasses, clinics, guest lectures, panel talks, and more, featuring a long list of top-level industry icons.

Past ICMP guests have included legendary musicians such as Beyoncé bassist Divinity Roxx, Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci, and Adele’s drummer Ash Soan, as well as representatives from highly respected industry companies like Universal, Sony, Warner Music, The Voice, The X Factor, AWAL/Kobalt, Polydor, Atlantic, Warner/Chappell Publishing, Radio 1, PIAS, Parlophone, Universal Publishing, Columbia, Spotify, and Virgin/EMI.

Our core classes are typically no more than 16 students per class. This enables a high number of teaching contact hours, so our students get a personalised learning experience focused around their specific goals. Our tutors are able to spend more time interacting directly with each student, while students can also connect and collaborate with classmates at a deeper level.

ICMP facilities are available for private practice, free of charge, outside of timetabled hours seven days a week. We also have a huge range of gear available to hire for on-site practice, rehearsals, and recording sessions, from guitars and basses to keyboards, drums, synths, drum machines and microphones. Finding the right place to practice can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive – so we do all we can to resolve this problem for our students.

Tuition Fee and Maintenance loans are available to eligible students for all of our full-time courses. Tuition Fee loans for ICMP courses cover the full annual course fee, and Maintenance Loans are also available to eligible UK students to assist with living costs while you are studying.

Our Finance Team are available to talk you through the process of applying for Student Loans and answer your student finance questions.
