About us

At dBs Institute, we’re a collective of music-makers, sound obsessives and creative explorers. Across our Bristol, Manchester and Plymouth campuses, we specialise in music production, performance, sound engineering, live events and creative technologies  all taught in professional spaces designed to replicate the industry.

We believe the most exciting careers are built by people who take risks, collaborate and lead rather than follow. That’s why our degrees combine specialist skills with the freedom to personalise your journey, whether that’s through 1:1 vocal or instrumental coaching, collaborative cross-course projects, or option modules that let you broaden or deepen your expertise. You’ll work with industry-trusted technology, experienced tutors and our in-house commercial arm, dBs Pro, connecting you to real clients and projects. 

We don’t do generic, we do tailored, high-impact learning that builds the skills, confidence and network you need for a sustainable creative career.

We are more than just an educational institution. We are creators, innovators, visionaries.

At dBs Institute, our hands-on approach, industry connections and vibrant community set us apart. We blend the theory with hands-on experience, encouraging you to think critically, experiment and take creative risks. This ensures you are not only technically skilled in your specialism, but also inventive, adaptable and ready to tackle challenges.

Collaboration is key part of our culture, you'll work on innovative project with students, staff and industry from different fields, gaining valuable insights and building connections that will serve you throughout your career.
