What college/uni do you recommend me going to study Electronic Music Production?

I am a Year 12 student currently studying music, biology, and ctec digital media. I own a music scholarship at a boarding school and I'm an international student.

I have been interested in studying electronic music production and producing songs in my own time. I found BIMM one day and thought it was kinda cool as it only requires so few ucas points and offered in many locations. I went on one of the virtual open day and thought it was cool as well until I went here to look up BIMM and found some negative comments (mostly really bad comments and some say don't even go here as it is a waste of time) which seems fair as it only requires so little ucas point and there will be people who don't even want to try hard in the class.

After going through some posts here here are the Uni/College I found that people have recommended:
Leeds Conservatoire
Waterbear
LIPA
Salford
ICMP

those are the ones I found. I also found some music colleges such as Sprit Studios, ACM, dbs institute, ARU, point blank and ravensbourne.

please give me some ideas or suggestions you have.

Also I love Skrilex and deadmau5 those two are my inspiration.

Their point of presentation is phenomenal. My boyfriend starts there in September and they have sent him loads of complimentary gifts to welcome him and everything. They have a lot of pride which is good to see

For Electronic & Produced Music specifically then you should also look at Guildhall School of Music. It is a very, very competitive course, they only take a small number of students per year.

Apart from Guildhall, your list above is a good range of institutions to consider.

Hey, just wondering if you ended up making a decision or not and what your experience has been. I want to study music production in UK next year and am having difficulties making a decision as well.

Hello I'm Owen a 3rd year student studying Computer Games Technology at ARU.

While I don't study music at ARU I am in the same faculty as the music course so can speak more generally about studying at ARU and being in the city of Cambridge. ARU prides its self on its creative courses originally being founded as an arts school and still acts today as the 'The Cambridge school of Arts'. We are also located in the UKs version of silicone valley 'silicon fen' so are on the doorstep to many of the UK's top Tech and scientific companies, meaning industry contacts are easier to come by.
Living in Cambridge is wonderful being surrounded by the vibrant history and culture of the city really adds the experience of being a student at ARU.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have to the best of my ability.

Thank you,
-Owen
