Absolutely brilliant resource for composers of any level. I have taken three of their courses, and they all go into a mind-blowing amount of detail. The courses are both very informative and very entertaining, and all the tutors are experienced and highly engaging. The interactive videos are unique, as far as I know - these help the course to be tailored to an individual's specific needs. All the ThinkSpace staff with whom I have interacted have been professional, knowledgable, and incredibly helpful and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone aspiring to be a professional composer for media!

I graduated in January 2022, it was a great way to obtain a Masters degree from a UK university fully remotely while being able to live in my home country. The 1 on 1s with the tutors every week are very useful, lots of projects were made, which helps with building up a portfolio.

I graduated in the summer of 2024, and I am incredibly satisfied with my experience at Thinkspace Education. Materials and Assignments The course materials are continuously updated to reflect the latest industry standards. One of the highlights was the real-life scoring examples with a live orchestra, which were absolutely wonderful. The modules also blend theory and practical work seamlessly. Feedback is available through various channels including webinars, tutor sessions, and assignment markings. I especially appreciated the personal assistance from industry professionals, which has been invaluable. I learned not only media scoring and orchestration but also essential composer skills such as creating realistic mockups, and mixing and mastering my music. This experience significantly deepened my understanding of the entire music production process. Staff The staff at Thinkspace Education are highly professional and bring amazing industry experience to the table. Just look at the tutors' credits! For instance, Norman Ludwin has over 200 IMDB credits for films like Spiderman, Coco, and The Incredibles. They actively incorporate feedback to continually improve the courses. I felt that they genuinely wanted the best for me and pushed us all towards successful careers. Guy Michelmore, the famous YouTube star, is one of the driving forces behind it all and still hosts insightful webinars for students and alumni. Courses Upon graduation, you retain access to all course materials, including short courses. Even though I didn't initially study game music, I plan to dive into those course materials next! Thinkspace Education also offers lifetime access to any new courses they add, which is a fantastic benefit. Community The student and alumni community is vibrant and incredibly supportive. We have a lively Discord community where students, alumni, tutors, and staff regularly interact and support one another. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my experience and can wholeheartedly recommend Thinkspace Education to anyone looking to not only learn the skills but also build a career in the industry. Thanks to the tutors' help and support, I earned my first IMDB credits this summer, just after graduation. I firmly believe this wouldn't have been possible without Thinkspace Education.

I'm on the Songwriting and Music Production MA (recently renamed Creative Music Production MA). I started in January 2024, hoping the course would give me much needed accountability, offer mentorship from industry professionals, and be flexible enough to fit in around family life. It has not disappointed, I'm finishing songs and mixing/mastering to a level where I feel proud to share my songs and release them. There is a genuine sense of community amongst tutors and students, and at a fraction of the cost of a traditional university masters too. Highly recommended!

As a current student in ThinkSpace Education's MFA in Professional Media Composition, I am extremely satisfied with my experience. The program's comprehensive curriculum covers essential topics like orchestration, arranging, and film scoring, achieving a great balance between theory and practical application. The faculty consists of industry professionals whose insights and feedback are invaluable. Their real-world perspectives and personalized mentorship have significantly enhanced my learning experience. The supportive community of students and alumni has been more than welcoming and is always a great resource for feedback. What sets this program apart is its focus on career preparation, including modules on the business side of media composition. This practical approach ensures students are well-equipped for a successful career in the industry. Overall, I am very happy with my decision to enroll in ThinkSpace Education's MFA in Professional Media Composition and highly recommend it to anyone serious about pursuing a career in media composition.

I did the MA in Professional Media Composition and was pleased with the focus and organization of study topics and materials, as well as the availability of tutors and their willingness and ability to communicate critical feedback in clear, constructive ways. For a remote program I was surprised at the networking opportunities as everyone is positive, supportive, and respectful.

The Sound Design for Video Games course is currently severely lacking in direction and staffing which makes it hard to recommend to anyone interested in making a meaningful dent in their game audio education in the sound design realm. While staff, students, and the overall environment are lovely, the SDVG course in particular is falling very far behind any of Thinkspace's musical degrees and short courses. Outdated material that no longer pertains to the exams, a severe shortage of tutors available for 121 sessions, and next to no topical webinars besides peer reviews (vs. well over 20 music-related webinars over the same timespan) stand in opposition to very polished, multi-part intensives, interviews, and documentary-style deep dives in the musical modules. Some of the tutors listed on the website haven't been involved with Thinkspace in any notable capacity within 2024 yet still are listed as if they're actively contributing. This wouldn't be a big deal had the SDVG degree not been priced nearly identical to the other, much more "polished" degree programs on offer.

I’m only 2 modules into the DAW School (Cubase) course but since I’m loving it so much, I had to write a review. It is simply so much fun! I did a music degree many moons ago and am simply taking this course for pleasure. I work full time (not in the music industry) and am doing the course in my spare time whenever I can. I had always wanted to know how to use music software but had never got the chance. Guy and Bradley are a brilliant dynamic duo with a unique combination of experience, knowledge, wit and eloquence. I love the way I can revisit a module or video if I’m not sure about something or just want a reminder. I would recommend this course to anyone. I can’t wait to do the next module…thanks guys…and you never know, one day you might see my name on a credit for music on a tv drama! Who knows?!

This is post-graduate course with unlimited opportunities to learn. I say this because a student is expected to be proactive in taking advantage of the program. There is a set syllabus, but a major advantage of this program is the extra activities like pitch challenges, and most of all, feedback from and close contact with working professionals.

The courses are excellent. It gives me a lot of arsenal for making orchestral mockups.
