ACM (The Academy of Contemporary Music)

At ACM, creativity doesn’t clock out at five o’clock – it’s how you live.

Our campuses are alive with rehearsals, recordings, gaming sessions and collaborations. Projects aren’t just assignments; they’re opportunities to build your future.

Life here is about belonging as much as ambition. You’ll find your people in societies, gigs, tournaments, showcases and start-ups that spring from campus every term.

Because every creative journey needs support, wellbeing and community are central to student life. Whether it’s guidance from staff, mental-health services, or just finding space to connect, ACM is where you’re empowered to take risks, make mistakes and keep creating.

Be where creativity happens.

With campuses in Guildford, Birmingham and London, ACM places you at the heart of the UK’s creative hubs. Each city has its own rhythm – from world-famous venues and studios to grassroots spaces where new talent breaks through.

We’ll help you find accommodation that fits your lifestyle and budget so you can focus on what really matters: building your future. Wherever you’re based, you’ll belong to a community that’s close-knit on campus and connected to opportunity off it.

At ACM, your location isn’t just where you live – it’s where you launch.
