The BIMM Student Conference is a student-led event that brings music students from across BIMM’s campuses to learn from one another, recent graduates and experienced industry professionals. Designed to educate and empower students, the conference has previously covered topics such as young professionalism, changes in music industry trends, mental health and much more. Get to know your fellow students, network and expand your knowledge of current trends and topics in your field.

BIMM Extra is a series of classes, workshops and extracurricular activities available to students that go beyond their core studies. Taking place during semesters one and two, they give students the opportunity to explore new topics, expand your horizons and build your skillset.

Our BIMM Extra programme is designed in direct response to student feedback on the topics they would most like to cover and are hugely popular.

Featuring lecturers from our network in Germany, the UK and Ireland, plus external guests, BIMM Extra is the perfect opportunity to build your skillset and explore new disciplines within the creative industries.

Want to go deeper into something you’ve learned about in the classroom? Need that last piece of expert advice before finalising your project? You can book individual tutorials with any lecturer at your local college and gain unparalleled guidance on your academic and professional goals.

You’ll also have access to mentoring sessions throughout the year. These sessions are a great opportunity to focus on your progress as a creative professional and can touch on areas including professional development, finding work in the industry, planning and reaching goals, gaining feedback on performances/demos and more.

Perform onstage or help to set up and run our end-of-term and end-of-year gigs. Our gigs take place in well-respected and much-loved music venues in Berlin and Hamburg. With audiences made up of your peers, staff and industry professionals, there is no better place to showcase your talents. Who knows: maybe you’ll even get scouted for the big time just like BIMM alumni Tom Odell and James Bay.

At our end-of-semester screenings, selected Filmmaking students have the opportunity to present their projects and films. Taking place in our state-of-the art facilities at Molecule Studios, your films are broadcasted to our community and industry guests.
