DIPLOMA PROSPECTUS 21/22
Dear Applicant —— I am so pleased that you are considering joining our wonderful creative community here at BIMM Institute Bristol. For many of our diploma students, starting at BIMM is a big deal. If you’ve come straight from school, it can take some adjustment. You might think that doing what you love every day is easy. It’s not. It’s not easy because it matters more. The stakes are higher. The pressure you put on yourself to do well is greater. You’ll have days when you feel like a rock star. And you’ll have days when you just can’t get inspired. That is the life of a creative, and that is why it’s easier to take these next steps together. I’m a musician, songwriter and performer alongside being a creative arts educator. In fact, you’d be hard pushed to find anyone here that isn’t. Our community of incredible lecturers understand you. They can help you work out who you are, what you excel at, how to tackle the tough stuff, and where you should go next on your journey as a creative professional. I hope you join us for an open day to ask us any questions you have about life here at BIMM, and more importantly, to ask our current students about their experiences. I can’t wait to meet you and find out how we can help you achieve the career you’ve always dreamed of. Hannah Phipps College Principal | BIMM Institute Bristol

From the Bear Pit (Barton Roundabout) you can catch buses to areas in both North and South Bristol. You can purchase a “three stop hop” ticket for just £1 to get you between both BIMM Institute colleges cheaply and quickly. Students can show their BIMM Institute ID to get a 30% discount on bus journeys. Bike Bristol is a very popular cycling city. It is a more efficient way of navigating the very congested roads and complicated one-way systems. If you cycle you will find you are not alone and there are initiatives laid out by Bristol City Council to get people out on their bikes. The Yo!Bike app allows you to ride a bike for just £1 with the first journey free - these are the yellow bikes seen around town. Train Temple Meads – Bristol’s central station. It is approximately a 20-minute walk from King Square and only ten minutes from Passage Street and connects you the rest of the country via First Great Western, Cross Country and Stagecoach. Parkway – a large station connecting Bristol to Wales, surrounding Bristol towns and London and the Midlands. Montpelier – King Square’s nearest platform. This is an inner-city station which connects you to other parts of Bristol, including Bristol Temple Meads, Clifton, Lawrence Hill and Stapleton Road. Redland – another platform near King Square connecting you to other parts of Bristol, including Shirehampton, Avonmouth and Severn Tunnel Junction.
