Calling All School and College Leavers

Limited Diploma and Degree Places Available for September 2015

The Academy of Contemporary Music was founded 20 years ago right here in Guildford on a single, fundamental principle: an absolute passion for delivering excellence in music industry education across the disciplines of music performance, production, songwriting and business management. In the time since, our passion has only grown stronger, as evidenced by the graduates who are now out there, flying the flag for us all around the Music and Creative Industries ; those such as Ed Sheeran, Newton Faulkner, Amelle Berrabah and Ebony Day. If you or someone you know dreams of a career in music, why not think about starting that journey with ACM? We teach to BTEC Level 3 Diploma and Honours Degree levels. Places are still available for September. Students aged 16 and over can join us full time, whilst younger students can join on our part time programmes in the evenings and on weekends.

It’s not too late to apply to ACM for September 2015 and to ensure you have the chance to find out what we’re all about, we’re opening our doors for an extra special Clearing Open Day on Tuesday 25th August 2015.
