Student Life

There’s more to university life than studying. At ICMP you'll enter a supportive and creative community, where you'll find lifelong friends and collaborators. You'll also be studying in London, one of the world's most exciting cities!  

Alongside providing you with an exceptional education, we also offer you a range of events, activities and services - all designed to support and nurture you during your time at ICMP. Take a look at what’s on offer...

Events & opportunities
We host gigs, masterclasses, mixers and more throughout the year, offering opportunities for you to socialise, perform live, or gain hands-on experience of event management. We also celebrate the events that matter to you, like Pride, Diwali and Black History Month. Meanwhile, our networking opportunities put you in the orbit of key industry figures like publishers, labels and agents. Our Careers & Industry Liaison Team can also arrange career-shaping placements, coaching and auditions.

Student Societies
At ICMP, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Our vibrant student-led societies are a testament to this belief, offering a space for students to connect, collaborate, and celebrate their shared passions. These societies are more than just clubs; they're communities where you can find your voice, explore new interests, and make lifelong friends.

Venue & refectory
In September 2022, we opened the latest phase of our Queen's Park Campus. Students now have access to their very own 120-capacity venue for hosting events and showcases when it’s not being used for live performance and live sound engineering classes. We’ve also opened a brand new refectory area, giving you a dedicated social space to kick back between classes.

Word-class facilities
Rehearse, collaborate and experiment in our state-of-the-art recording studios, drum booths, live rooms and tech labs. They’re available to all students, 7 days a week outside timetabled hours – and you can book some of our equipment to use off-campus, too.

Campus location 
Our campuses are located within vibrant London, near campus you’ll find places to eat, plenty of pubs, and nightlife like open mic nights. There’s also affordable accommodation a stone’s throw away – and it’s all easily connected by tube, overground and bus routes. 

London - a cultural capital
As the centre of the UK music industry, there’s so much to explore in London – and a place for everyone to call home. With a whole breadth of music scenes, wander the buzzing streets, and you’ll be walking in the footsteps of music greats like Stormzy, Bowie and Adele. 

Expert support
Support is woven into everything we do at ICMP, from our Personal Tutoring System and Careers & Industry Hub, to our Disability & Wellbeing Team and range of funding options. It’s all designed to make sure you have what you need to thrive – both academically and personally. 

Team spirit
We’re a small school that helps you dream big. Whether on campus or online, you’ll find friends, collaborators and mentors across our courses. Our students build each other up for success by networking, working together and supporting each others’ gigs and releases.
