STUDENT FINANCE INFORMATION 2020 icmp.ac.uk
“ The creativity and support that surrounded me in every class was incredible. The tutors genuinely care about what they do and go above and beyond to encourage and challenge the students on their work.” EMMA MILLER BA (HONS) SONGWRITING
WELCOME
We’re delighted that you’ve
chosen to study at the Institute
of Contemporary Music
Performance (ICMP) – the UK’s
premier school of modern music.
One of the most important aspects of enrolling
is making sure you have plans in place to
finance your chosen course. To help you, we’ve
created this short guide to fees and financing,
which we hope will be of assistance.
Just follow the advice in the relevant section,
depending on whether you’re a UK student; a
European Union student; a European Union
student who has lived in England for five years
or more; or an international or EEA student.
And of course, don’t hesitate to contact a
member of our Finance team at any time,
should you have any questions or encounter
difficulties financing your studies. We are
here to help and will try to make things as
straightforward for you as possible.
