It can be really hard to find work opportunities, that’s why I find it so great that BIMM are able to send us regular updates, practically giving them to us on a plate... then you can easily apply for any suited to you through BIMM, it’s incredibly helpful”

"Nora Warmedinger, Head of Careers, Events, Guests & Promotions at BIMM University Berlin reached out to me to say that Sennheiser was looking for a singer/songwriter to be featured in their next product story. She asked if I was interested in being part of the project and from there I started to communicate with Sennheiser, shared my story with them and they created the visual concept for the video clip."

"Our Events and Guests coordinator Dave Meisner sends out weekly newsletters that inform students about fantastic masterclasses and job opportunities. There, I found out about the ATC internship and applied straight away as it is a great opportunity to hone my crafts and skills within the music business world."
