About

On-campus facilities: Both AIM campuses in Sydney and Melbourne are non-residential. AIM will recommend to students various accommodation providers however all students must organise their accommodation independently. Off-campus facilities: As AIM does not have a on-campus accomodation facility, it might be a little difficult for you to find a place in a new city or country, therefore, we at Azent have listed out a few services that are common among the students who want to stay nearby the campus. 1. Homestays: Homestays are a cultural exchange between a local individual or family, called a “Homestay Host”, and a visiting International Student who comes to live as a guest in their home while they are studying in Australia. The Host also provides the Student with all their basic needs, including their own room, food (if applicable) and space to study. In return, the Student pays a weekly fee. 2. Hostels: Hostels provide a friendly, supervised and safe environment for students. Many hostels also provide meals. 3. Shared Accommodation: Shared Accommodation allows students to have more freedom. Students can share a room, house or apartment depending on their budget. 4. Apartments or houses: This is a good option for students who want to live a more independent and private life. Studio (one-bedroom) apartments are more popular amongst students who choose this option because they are less expensive to rent compared to the larger apartments or houses.

Verdict

The institutions teaching and learning system is built on community work and support; which means that students get to learn in a team like an environment, with teachers and staff who are experts from the different musical field. The Students also have the privilege of associating with experienced musical scholars and learn with students from other musical backgrounds and specialties from different fields which has in turn been a great boost to their own creativity and productivity.The institute offers degrees in several course areas like in the Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Entertainment jury Management and it also offers courses for postgraduate musical studies. The staffs at the institute are all music professionals who work both nationally and internationally, because of this engagement most of them teach part-time so they can also have time to participate in their own different musical practices.
