WaterBear Education is a private higher education college which provides a range of Master of Arts (MA) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree courses across the creative industries in partnership with the University of Chichester. Its innovative syllabus delivers a blended learning programme, combining both online and on-site, with a key emphasis on preparing students for employment, developing contacts and opportunities and offering work placements within industry as an integral part of the courses.
WaterBear’s senior management team, led by Bruce Dickinson, includes established touring musicians and recording artists with strong links in the wider music industry. The team has a proven track record having previously worked for the largest providers of private music education and founded the British and Irish Institute of Modern Music (BIMM), which pioneered the music education industry and grew to become the most successful private education provider in the UK.
We are delighted to have secured the support of Maven to enable us to open our first campus. Maven demonstrated an immediate understanding of our business model and has been hugely supportive from the outset. We look forward to working with them over the coming years as we strive to redefine the model for creative industry education.
