Director of Music for 2fm Alan Swan said: “At 2FM, we have always been a big supporter of Irish talent and emerging Irish talent so offering a scholarship like this is incredibly important for what 2fm stands for, considering the amount of BIMM artists past & present that 2fm airplays or works within the industry.
"It seems like a natural progression to help nurture & support the Irish industry music talent of the future with this scholarship. It’s a privilege that we launch it today with BIMM."
BIMM Institute Dublin College Principal, Alan Cullivan said: “Here at BIMM we are over the moon to be working with Ireland’s biggest radio station for new music.
"In a way it seems as though we have always had an unofficial partnership with 2FM considering the amount of BIMM bands the station plays.
"2FM give such amazing support to new Irish artists so it’s a very easy relationship to have and we are extremely excited here in BIMM for us to be finally and officially working together.”
The Diploma in Music Business is also a part-time course and is designed to offer students a practical skillset precisely designed with future employment in mind including Music Promotion and Marketing, Artist Management, Tour Management, Physical and Digital Music Distribution, e-commerce in the Music Industry, Music Publishing and Recording, Live Music Events and Touring.
