Located in London at the heart of the global music industry, The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) has been developing and delivering contemporary music education for over 35 years – longer than any other contemporary music school in the UK.
The Institute offers a specialist range of industry-aligned undergraduate and postgraduate programmes focused on preparing musicians, producers, creative artists and entrepreneurs for a successful and rewarding career in the music and wider creative industries.
In November 2021, ICMP was successfully awarded Full Degree Awarding Powers (DAPs), taking full responsibility for the academic integrity and standards of its programmes, and the award of its undergraduate music courses and postgraduate music courses since September 2022.
ICMP programmes are endorsed by global industry leaders, such as the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and Digital Marketing Institute (DMI).
The Institute also offers Certified Pro Tools training, being the only London provider to do this to an expert level, and is also an Ableton Certified Training Centre.
