WaterBear is an independent music school offering Higher Education courses within city-wide campuses in Brighton and Sheffield, England. They specialise in the delivery of Bachelor of Arts and master's degrees courses for musicians, artists and music industry professionals. Their ethos is to support independent, DIY artists to build long-term, sustainable careers in the music industry [1]. They provide on-site and flexible online learning, mentoring, work experience and performance opportunities. WaterBear's courses focus on a range of specialist areas, including music performance, audio production, songwriting, electronic music, music business and professional project work [2].
History
WaterBear was launched in 2018 by professional musicians and music educators Bruce John Dickinson (Co-Founder/Director) and Adam Bushell (Co-Founder/CEO) [3].
In 2020 it was announced that Falmouth University would be the official awarding body for WaterBear's undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. In late 2020 a joint venture was confirmed which saw Falmouth University investing in WaterBear and taking a seat on the WaterBear board [4].
In 2023 WaterBear opened a new campus in Sheffield [5] [6] at the location of the former Sheffield nightclub Gatecrasher.
