Why BIMM University Berlin
What we do to make you stand out from the crowd
The creative industries are fiercely competitive. We’re here to give you the skills, experience and connections to stand out, get noticed and build the career you want.
Industry-connected courses
Don’t just study the industry. Get inside it.
Our courses are shaped by the creative industries and the skills they need now and in the future. We work closely with industry partners and advisors to keep our teaching relevant, practical and focused on where the sector is heading.
And because English is our common language, BIMM University Berlin brings together students from across the world. You’ll develop the confidence to collaborate across cultures, work internationally and build a career without borders.
Learn from people who do it for real
Your lecturers aren’t just teachers. They’re working professionals.
Our lecturers actively work in the industries they teach. They bring current knowledge, real stories and first-hand experience into the classroom – so you’re learning from people who understand what it takes to get ahead.
Their industry networks also create opportunities to connect with the people, companies and organisations shaping the creative world.
Every connection could be your next opportunity.
Professional tools. Professional environments.
Get hands-on with the tools of the trade.
Our purpose-built facilities are designed to give you a taste of life in the industry. You’ll have access to professional-standard equipment and resources from Monday to Saturday, free of charge, giving you the space to experiment, create and develop your craft outside the classroom too.
Whether you’re shooting a freelance project, rehearsing for a performance or bringing your next big idea to life, you’ll have the tools to make it happen.
Create. Collaborate. Make things happen.
The best way to learn creative work is to do it.
At BIMM University Berlin, you’re part of a community of creators, not just a classroom of students. Our collaborative projects give you the chance to work across disciplines, exchange ideas, and put your skills to the test.
You might take on a role you’ve never tried before. Work with someone from a completely different creative discipline. Or discover a direction you didn’t know existed.
Because your creativity shouldn’t be limited by your course title.
Get closer to the people shaping the industry
Meet the people you’re learning to become.
Throughout the semester, our masterclasses, demonstrations, and performances bring leading industry talent to campus.
Hear first-hand what it’s really like to work at the highest level. Ask questions. Make connections. Get inspired.
From major film and TV productions to internationally recognised artists and creative pioneers, you’ll have opportunities to learn directly from people who have already made their mark.
Get industry experience before you graduate
Your career starts before graduation.
Our Careers Teams work with a wide network of labels, booking agents, production companies, festivals, and other creative organisations, connecting students with opportunities to gain genuine industry experience.
Our students have worked as personal assistants to international artists including Florence + The Machine, created press releases for major rock and metal acts, scouted emerging musicians for global management agency ATC, and gained experience at Berlinale.
These aren’t hypothetical career opportunities. They’re chances to do the work, build your network and start your professional reputation while you study.
A degree that means something
Get the qualification. Build the career.
Your creative career needs more than a portfolio, and your degree should be more than a piece of paper.
Bachelor’s, CertHE and Master’s degrees from BIMM University Berlin are awarded by BIMM University (UK) and internationally recognised. They combine academic knowledge with practical, industry-focused learning, giving you a qualification that reflects both your expertise and your creative development.
Backed by more than four decades of experience in creative arts education, your BIMM University degree represents the work you’ve put in – and the career you’re ready to build.
