This is ACM

ACM is the UK’s leading provider of creative industries education, offering unrivalled mental health and wellbeing support, state-of-the-art studio facilities, and expert-led industry masterclasses. With an award-winning curriculum and a faculty of seasoned professionals, ACM equips students with the skills, experience, and confidence to graduate industry-ready.

What makes us different

We don’t just teach creativity. We live it – and lead it.

At ACM, learning is powered by the industry itself. Through our dedicated Industry Link team, you’ll access gigs, placements, mentoring and guest sessions with the people shaping music, gaming, tech and business today.

Unlike many creative schools, ACM connects multiple disciplines. You can move seamlessly between music, gaming, sound, production and enterprise – collaborating with peers who think differently and push you further. That’s how the creative industries work, and that’s how we prepare you to thrive.

If you want to go further faster, our accelerated degree options let you graduate sooner and launch your career earlier.

And because success is built on support, wellbeing and belonging sit at the heart of ACM life. When you join us, you don’t just earn a qualification – you join a community that equips you to make it happen.
