THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC PERFORMANCE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE UK
At ICMP, we have a vibrant and exciting international community, with around 40% of our total student body being international students. That means the ICMP experience is a truly global one, providing you with plenty of opportunities for both music and cultural development.
Being an international student brings with it some special challenges, and the ICMP team understands this. From your initial contact with our admissions advisers, engagement with our wellbeing team or any other interactions you have before, during and after your studies with ICMP, we’re here to provide practical and relevant help and support to make your experience a positive one.
Our International Student Handbook covers all the information you need to know in your ICMP journey, from your initial enquiry right up to your arrival in London.
