At the Institute we have built a history and reputation for providing
international students with a world class education and experience.
We believe an international community at the Institute helps all
of our students to experience different cultures and influences in
music, thus enhancing their environment and helping them to
grow as musicians.
We have a dedicated Student Services Team, which is available
to help all of our international students with their move to the UK.
We provide guidance on studying and living in the UK and hold
events for students tomeet their future peers and key members
of staff from the Institute. For information on visa applications and
Tier 4 requirements, as well as living, working and studying in the

staff, tutors, students and the Institute. Each year the students elect
