The modern Manchester is a rapidly evolving city crammed with nightlife that defies all weather. With 40 sites showcasing live music, it offers an endless whirl of overlapping sounds – from electronic and avante indie to lad rock, folk and much more. This non-stop music melange makes Manchester a perfect learning base for young musicians, and being a friendly and energetic city it offers them lots of like-minded people to hang out with! Everyone plays Manchester. The Arena boasts world-famous bands while the neighbouring northern quarter’s hipster bars and clubs offer a range of upcoming talent. The famous 1976 Sex Pistols gigs put on by the Buzzcocks in Manchester sparked an intense local scene at a time when the crucial DIY culture of punk began. These concerts made Manchester the first city outside London to have its own genuine punk scene with the Buzzcocks becoming a key part of the movement – inspiring a massive local boost that made Manchester the key city for post-punk thanks to Joy Division
and news reporter Tony Wilson’s Factory Records totally reinventing music for a new generation. By 1980 Manchester was the hippest music city in the UK. The world’s home of the industrial revolution continued to innovate and still does to this day. Home to the computer, invented in Manchester just after WWll, it can also boast creating some of the UK’s favourite TV programmes. And it is out of this tradition of innovation that new music resulted – such as the lyrical smarts of The Smiths, New Order reinventing the wheel by crossing electro music with post punk and the Fall’s idiosyncratic releases. By the end of the 1980s it all exploded as Madchester with the Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays leading the way. A workingclass San Francisco, Manchester became the hippest place in the world! And it just keeps on coming, from Oasis outselling the Beatles to award-winning bands like Elbow and the complex, highly evolved local scene that exists today. Vibrant, thrilling, multicultural Manchester has again reinvented itself and it still has the best soundtrack! With Manchester Nights now a club standard, what other city in the world can boast events named after itself? Come and be a part of it at BIMM Manchester! - JOHN ROBB

STUDENT LOANS AT BIMM WE HAVE ENSURED THAT OUR DEGREE-COURSE TUITION FEES OFFER EXCEPTIONAL VALUE FOR OUR STUDENTS, WITH ALL OF OUR THREEYEAR HE COURSES PRICED AT UNDER £6,000 PER ANNUM FOR UK AND EU STUDENTS. For most students studying a degreelevel course, tuition fees can be covered by a student loan from the Student Loans Company.

Both UK and EU students are eligible to apply for a student loan. You can find out more information on the guidelines of and how to apply for a student loan at www.slc.co.uk. The government also provides useful information on student finance at www.gov.uk/student-finance.

Student loans for Tuition fees provided by the Student Loan Company will cover a maximum of £6,000 of fees per annum, if you are eligible for a loan. Where the annual course fees are in excess of £6,000, the balance must be paid by the student prior to enrolling each academic year.
