It’s not just about academia, life at LMA equally encompasses fun, support and self-expression. You need to take chances – go your own way and build your confidence ready for an exciting career.

THE LMA WAY...

LMA is different. From the way we do things, through to the key beliefs that sit at the heart of our ethos. As well as receiving academic support, there’s also an expert team of advisors on hand to help you grow and develop, ensuring you’re equipped to succeed. With us, you’ll gain a degree, but you’ll also nurture and enhance the passion needed for a successful career.

Welcome to the LMA way...

STUDENT FIRST Taking a Student First approach in everything we do is at the heart of our DNA. First and foremost, LMA is centred around best serving our students. We understand that every student, together with their goals and motivations, is unique and we’ll move mountains to make things happen for them.

We are perfectly placed to view the world through their eyes. This approach of empathy, nurture and positivity, allows us to deliver great results, time and again.

COLLABORATIVE We truly believe that students become part of the LMA family when they join us. They can only feel this through individuals and teams sharing information and collaborating with a student first mindset.

We encourage collaboration across all areas of the campuses. Students working together across departments to gain the skills and experiences that 6

set them apart and our LMA staff collaborating at all levels so we are exploring every opportunity to add to the student experience.

CURIOUS Our students expect us to be progressive, innovative and informed so we encourage the same from them.

Staying curious is at the heart of this, applying curiosity to student first ideas, working solutions and personal development. Staying curious allows for continuous learning, improvement of service and guards against complacency. Demonstrating a desire to understand and engage with each others’ differing backgrounds, outlooks and perspectives. We encourage staff and students to be informed about the latest trends and industry news, to stay one step ahead. Curiosity allows us all to think outside the box, be creative, and “make things happen that otherwise would not”.

LOVE MEDIA. LOVE MUSIC. LOVE ARTS.

EGOLESS

GIVING YOUR BEST SELF Commit 100% and give your best self to others and not just for your own benefit.

HUMILITY We accept that one individual can’t have all the answers and that asking for input from others around you is not a weakness.

STRIVE TO IMPROVE You acknowledge that you won’t always be on top of your game, admit when you’ve made a mistake and welcome constructive feedback.

COURAGEOUS Creating an environment where we are honest with each other will lead to the right, not convenient, outcome. We encourage our students and staff to be the best versions of themselves, staying in our comfort zones is not good enough.

Be honest with yourself first and foremost. Where are you strong and where are you weaker?

We’re all here to support your development so this honesty simply helps us to help you. Being courageous enough to be vulnerable with each other removes barriers, creates trust and enables teams to come together in a supportive and inclusive way that lets everyone grow.

We always encourage students and staff to speak up if something just isn’t right. Having this voice to be courageous is something that underpins the entire LMA Way.

Here East is inspired by neighbouring creative community Hackney Wick. The digital labs and artist studios boast a Brooklyn, New York vibe, with the area dubbed as the “most desirable place to live and work in London”.

So if you’re looking for a vibrant, exciting new place to live, study, perform and explore, look no further.

MONEY MATTERS STUDENT FINANCE You can apply for Student Finance for your tuition fees loan and also apply for a maintenance loan which will help with living expenses whilst you are studying.

When applying for Student Finance you can apply for a tuition fee loan and if eligible, a maintenance loan which can help with living costs whilst studying. Use the student finance calculator to see your entitlement at:

www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator/y Student finance is available to full-time and part-time UK students who meet the eligibility rules for student finance.

LMA students will have access to the local jobs vacancy section of the LMA app where local businesses update us directly of any vacancies available. These opportunities could be during the holidays or term time.

But don’t neglect your studies – research shows that more than 20 hours of work a week can have a negative impact on academic performance. So if you’re aiming for a job during term time, try and find a good work and study balance.

LMA offers a creative environment in a family atmosphere, where tutors are experienced industry professionals, facilities are second to none, and hard work promises to bring great rewards.

Here is what five of our recent graduates have to say about their time at LMA – and why you should follow in their footsteps.

“My time at LMA helped me grow so much as a musician, I wrote my first song when I joined and have continued to write songs ever since. I also learned the basics of piano and guitar which enhanced my writing and performance skills. From my last year I was also lucky enough to have two of my songs produced by my tutor and played on BBC Introducing! I have since continued to write and record with my band and had radio plays from BBC Introducing, Radio X and I have been lucky enough to support artists like Jamie Webster and The Zutons plus performing at festivals such as Isle of Wight and Y Not! Festival, which I couldn’t have even imagined doing before joining LMA.”

“What sets LMA apart from other creative universities are the people you will meet during your studies and how much of an impact they will have on you. Every member of staff truly has your best interest at heart and will do everything to help you on your journey.

LMA gave me the opportunity to genuinely live my dream of a career in Football videography at West Ham Utd FC. With a strong mindset and a brilliant work ethic, it just shows that dreams do come true.”

Danny Strange Digital Film & TV Production Graduate

Fiona Lennon Music Performance & Industry Graduate

“My time at LMA was amazing. The training and the facilities were incredible and I made so many friends.

The place has a real family feel and is really diverse and welcoming. Since graduating, I got an agent and now work on Carnival Cruises performing and doing what I love whilst travelling the world.”

“LMA is a great place to go and study under some great talent and really nice welcoming people who look out for their students and strive to get the best out of them. I am now a Senior Character Artist at Expression Games and have worked on several AAA titles such as Fifa, Gotham Knights, WWE to name a few.”

Jake Lamb Digital Games Art Graduate

Evan Harrison Musical Theatre Graduate

“My time at LMA has given me so much joy and knowledge and helped me find who I am as an actor. I’ve only just graduated and I’ve been working non stop, for Channel 4, Channel Dave and now I’m opening up my own acting association, ‘Acting with Claudia’.”

Claudia Greer Acting & Performance Graduate

OPPORTUNITIES Studying at LMA opens up a world of exciting experiences both through the courses on offer and outside the institution too.

LMA’s close links with key figures in the entertainment industry mean our students are in an ideal position to take advantage of relevant opportunities.

Exciting opportunities have included students working on the feature film ‘The Batman’, which was shot in Liverpool and five Film & TV graduates starting full time contracts on a major production with Netflix.

LMA actors have been cast in the award-winning Jimmy McGovern TV series ‘Time’, starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham too.

We’re also really proud to announce that a number of our students have been chosen to perform at the star-studded Brits Awards Ceremony and LMA have formed two great partnerships for 2024 – one of the biggest Edinburgh Fringe venues, TheSpaceUK, plus the world famous Glastonbury Festival, providing opportunities in the Theatre and Circus fields.
