The Institute is located in London, a fantastic capital city which is also the heart of the world's music industry. Not only do you have access to the best tuition, in world class facilities, and an impressive network of experience and knowledge within our four walls, you also have the opportunity to experience everything that London has to offer professionally, musically and socially - a real life experience!

We are connected to hundreds of venues, partners, agents, labels, manufacturers and much more. Students can use this connectivity to get a gig, play on stage, join a band and develop a successful career. And many of our partners offer opportunities for discounts and benefits on a range of gear and services, which are detailed in our student handbook.

Here are just some of our partners and links - it's impossible to list them all! - watch this space as more are added and developed all the time:
