Alumni
Our graduates can be found performing in orchestras, concert halls, jazz clubs and recording studios throughout the UK, Europe and beyond. Some have gone on to pursue careers in major organisations within the music industry, while others have taken up further study, research or teaching at national and international music colleges.
Showcasing Alumni
From 2006-2010, our continuing support for graduates included an annual showcase of final-year and alumni talent: the New Generation Arts Festival, held in collaboration with partner faculties, as well as other arts training organisations in Birmingham.
Graduates may also be able to secure bookings through our External Engagements team, subject to client needs.
Careers
To assist you in pursuing your chosen career, alongside the development of your specialist skills, each of our courses is designed to provide you with a thorough grounding in business acumen, self-promotion and management, and related skills. Plus, before and after you graduate, you can access the University's Careers Service for employment and careers advice, including a listing of graduate vacancies.
Birmingham Conservatoire Association (BCA)
BCA is a charitable organisation which provides a vehicle for alumni, staff, parents and other friends of the Conservatoire to stay involved with our work. It provides support for current students through bursaries and activities, and publishes an informational newsletter, Fanfare III. Recently BCA has, with the help of the University’s Alumni Association, organised a number of successful reunions for staff and students of the Conservatoire and its previous incarnation: Birmingham School of Music.
University Alumni Association
Conservatoire alumni may also join the University’s main Alumni Association, which provides a virtual meeting point for graduates of all faculties. As well as organising occasional professional development and social events, the Alumni Association publishes Aspire magazine and provides a way for you to keep in touch with the University’s development in general. The University's Alumni Association is free to join.
