LMA Liverpool

Part of Galileo Global Education, LMA's Liverpool campus occupies upper floors of the Metquarter shopping centre, an 8-minute walk from Lime Street station. Its BA (Hons) Music Production costs £9,525/yr for UK students and is now validated by Regent's University London, the school's third validating partner since 2016, after earlier franchise deals with Staffordshire University and the University of Northampton lapsed.

LMA calls its facilities 'world class,' though the course page itself only specifies 'professional recording studios' running Logic Pro X, Ableton Live and Pro Tools, with no independent accreditation (e.g. an Ableton Certified Training Center listing) to back the claim.

Founded in 2009 by brothers Richard and Simon Wallace, LMA later took on Robbie Williams as a 20%-stake co-owner in 2019; student forum reviews are mixed, with recurring complaints about overcrowded studios and inconsistent feedback alongside some positive accounts. No cheaper short course or taster session is published. Unlike some rivals, LMA doesn't appear to sell an entry-level product below the full degree price.
