BIMM University

BIMM has a long history in music – over 35 years of excellence, in fact. From our beginnings as Drumtech in London in 1983, to the opening of BIMM Hamburg in 2018, our musical journey has been one of continual growth, culminating in our position today as one of the largest providers of modern music education in Europe.

As a BIMM student, you’ll be part of a unique creative community with access to unrivalled connections and real-world industry experiences. You’ll have the opportunity to be yourself and study in an environment that works closely with the very industries you’ll find your place in.

Research at the University primarily focuses on creative arts and industries practices. Research in this instance can be described as practice research. Practice research is a type of research where practice is the primary methodological approach conveyed in a research output, and a research narrative articulates the research inquiry that has emerged in practice.

Practice research exists across and beyond the traditional boundaries of subject disciplines. However, this definition can also be refined to include practice-based research, where a creative artefact is the basis of the contribution to knowledge and practice-led research, where investigation primarily leads to new understandings about practice.

BIMM inspires the next generation of industry professionals through the creation of inclusive and creative learning environments that remove barriers and create opportunities for equal participation in the creative industries.
