Academic strengths
The moment both students and staff alike step into ACM’s vibrant and inspiring buildings, they are reminded that they study and work in an atmosphere in which tutors and course leaders continually strive to push boundaries forward, and impart the sort of cutting edge practical and creative skills that are going to be genuinely useful in future years.
By studying at a school at the forefront of popular music education, ACM students lay the groundwork for a variety of dynamic future careers in music.
ACM has pioneered cutting edge music industry education with its groundbreaking one year Diploma and Higher Diploma courses through to the accelerated two year Bachelor of Arts degree programme in Contemporary Music.
ACM’s unique educational provision allows students to specialise in Performance (Guitar, Bass, Drums or Vocals) or Music Production or Music Business. ACM Students should think of themselves as being part of the music industry from day one of their time at the school. A large proportion of the music industry is self employed, and therefore training students to direct their own business, or build their own performance/producing career is a vital aspect of what all ACM tutors do on a daily basis.
