For the first time at BIMM Institute, applicants have the opportunity to combine both performance and non-performance subjects with our brand new Joint Honours degrees. This means the application process varies slightly for each course of study. Whether you’ve already applied, or are just thinking about it, here’s a brief guide detailing what to expect during your interview/audition. You’ll be sent full details on application.
Some courses, like Music Production for example, occur more than once in this list, meaning this info may seem slightly repetitive. To find the right application info for you, just scroll to the course you’re interested in studying. Everything else you need to know about the course options can be found here.
