Music Industry Education
ACM is all about music industry education. Students should think of themselves as being part of the music industry from day one of their time with us.
This music college in Guildford has seen the dreams and aspirations of so many students realised – careers that range from Top 40 success stories and individual business start-ups, through to industry internships leading to full time employment.
Helping students realise their ambitions are our faculty, who are all active industry professionals and specialists in their field. In addition we have a dedicated Business and Artist Development Centre (BDC) which exists with the sole purpose of creating and managing as many industry opportunities as possible for ACM students.
