Academic Supporters
In 2011 BASCA launched its Academic Supporter programme. This was in order to:
- encourage a younger demographic to join BASCA in order to remain relevant as a representative membership organisation
- educate young people as to the concept of copyright and the other political activities of BASCA
- develop relationships with a selected number of academic institutions throughout the UK in order that we eventually have a base in a few regions of the country that we can use develop as “hubs”….this will help BASCA also develop a meaningful regional presence
BASCA is delighted to already have the following Academic Supporters (listed alphabetically).

Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds; they study with top practitioners; and they have the opportunity to work in various professional and quasi-professional contexts, as part of their courses, through an extensive series of industry and community partnerships with organisations such as the BBC, Leeds International Concert Season and Opera North.
The College occupies modern, purpose-built accommodation in the heart of Leeds’ cultural quarter, close to the BBC, the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Northern Ballet Theatre and the Wardrobe (a leading venue for live music). We have high quality performance and recording facilities, and are constantly investing in our estate, most recently with the refurbishment of our recital room.
