Hello all!! I just got my offer in for Music Business at BIMM manchester, MSV looks okay from here but I need to do a visit. Has anyone managed to find any other options, if there is any?


Hey! I'm also on the music business course! I'm staying at parkway gate in a flat of 6, pretty sure there's 3 more rooms left, all ensuite and are worth the price. Not sure about MSV I've heard quite a few mixed reviews on it really!

Hello! Sounds good! I'm torn between BIMM and an offer from Bucks new university! I need to make a decision so I get grabs on good accommodation. I've not been to BIMM yet, have you been to any of the open days for music business?

Hey, I'm going to study songwriting in BIMM, I'm from Ireland so I'm not too sure on where to stay. I was looking at the Student Village though, is that place in you flat still available? :smile:


Hey, I'll be studying songwriting too :smile: I've already booked my room in msv I think the majority of BIMM students will be staying there as it's cheap and so close to BIMM!
Yea the courses are quite different. Manchester is more practical in terms of hands on projects and working with other students whereas bucks is literally like do the lecture then write an essay, there's no practical work

Ah I see, suppose it's whatever suits your personal opinions and what you want to do? I like the practical events tbh!

You will indeed! Yeah it's handy as well if you wanted to do any gigs because there's loads of live music venues around that area too :smile: I can't wait to start the course!

Yea I was thinking that! me too, so excited! :smile:
I think thats why I would choose BIMM, I still want involvement with my other links to music like performance and that. Bucks seems a bit risky then. Another one of my options is London Met and i have an interview at SSR this friday....decisions

I know the feeling! Took me a while!!
Yea that's why I'm swaying more towards bimm to be honest. Like I want the hands on experience that's guaranteed with the degree. Good luck with the interview mate
