Our goal at the ACM Business School is to deliver the next generation of industry professionals

Our graduates discover that a qualification from ACM provides a passport to the entry-level positions that will help them achieve that goal. Our mission is not just to educate but also to inspire passion, creativity and entrepreneurialism in our students; and to help them develop the skills and knowledge that will see them forge exciting and rewarding careers in the business of music.

“From the moment you cross the threshold, you can feel the creativity throughout the building. It is wonderful to see the enthusiasm exuding from both the staff and students, and I would recommend ACM to anyone wanting to pursue a career within the music industry.”

The Business School works in close partnership with the ACM Business Development Centre providing students with opportunities to gain relevant experience, internships and graduate positions in leading industry companies. Students also benefit from a wealth of initiatives such as the ‘Discovery & Development’ project whereby students form label teams to discover and develop talent amongst their peers in the ACM Performance and Production Schools.

Our relationships with our industry partners are continually being developed and we consistently place interns with leading companies including Universal Music Group, iTunes, Sky, Cooking Vinyl and many more. In addition the ACM Business School runs training courses for our industry partners, and works closely with industry trade bodies including the BPI, MMF and AIM amongst others.

The ACM Business School also delivers business modules to all the ACM Performance and Production students to ensure that all graduates leaving ACM have a good understanding of the industry, the opportunities and challenges they may face and a practical grasp of key organisations that can assist their future career path.
