Berklee Transfer Programme

The Berklee Transfer Programme is the product of an exclusive curriculum articulation agreement between Berklee College of Music and the International College of Music (ICOM). The Berklee College of Music is a world-renowned music college in Boston, Massachusetts, the United States of America whose alumnus includes the leading Who's Who in the international music industry, such as Quincy Jones, Bradford Marsalis, Paula Cole, Bruce Hornsby and many others.

At present, ICOM is the only college in Asia and Australia to have secured a full articulation agreement with Berklee College of Music which allows for an automatic transfer of up to 60 credits for a bachelor's degree, with the option of up to 12 majors. Students spend an estimated two (2) years at ICOM and two (2) years at Berklee College of Music to complete their Bachelor of Music degree.

ICOM is also the sole college in South East Asia and Australasia to be included in the Berklee International Network (BIN), an association of leading contemporary music colleges throughout the world, including the United States of America, Greece, Spain, Japan, Korea, Germany and France. As a member of BIN, ICOM students qualify for scholarships valued at up to 50% of the tuition fees at the Berklee College of Music.

Since its implementation in 1997, many students have successfully transferred their maximum number of credits taken at ICOM to Berklee College of Music. A substantial number of these students have been placed in the Dean's List.
