ThinkSpace EducationNews, Postgraduate

If you were unable to attend our Open Day on April 1st, then here you can catch up on everything you missed! If you did attend, you'll already be aware of some of the ways we're building on our postgraduate degrees courses and the exciting new content we have coming throughout this year.

Below you'll find the recorded livestreams of all our events last week. If you're considering applying for one of our courses we highly recommend you take a look at some of these videos as they will likely answer many of the questions you have.

If you still need more information or simply want to talk to us about your music and study goals, we'd love for you to reach out to us at postgraduate@thinkspace.ac.uk.

We also briefly announce our upcoming MA and MFA programs in Audio Post-Production which will be coming in 2024. We're very excited about these new courses so if you think this is something you'd be interested in do reach out to us!

Commercial Music and Business

Our commercial music courses are tailored to those looking to start their career in the contemporary music industries instead of media music and audio.

Courses discussed in this session:
- MA Creative Music Production
- MA International Music Business
- MFA Songwriting, Production and Music Business

MA Creative Music Production is perfect for those looking to launch their career as a commercial musician, and MA International Music Business is designed to help non-creatives in the industry launch their career in management and entrepreneurship within the music industry.

Here we will also clue you in to a bunch of the new and exciting tutors we have joining us, including some fantastic artists and industry professionals.


Game Composition and Sound Design

The video game industry is expanding rapidly, and with it comes exciting new prospects for composers and sound designers. Unlike working to linear media like film and television, video games composers and sound designers need to be as good at the technical side of audio implementation as they are at the process or creating the sound to begin with. As someone working in game audio you will be expected to know the technology of games inside out, which is what these courses are designed to do.

Courses discussed in this session:
- MA Composing for Video Games
- MA Sound Design for Video Games
- MFA Video Game Music and Audio
- MFA Video Game and Media Composition
- MFA Video Game Composition and Orchestration

Media Music and Orchestration

Media music has been our speciality right from day one, so we have lots of experience in teaching upcoming composers and orchestrators how to build their careers in these industries.

This year we have continued to grow and expand on our community of tutors as well as a huge overhaul of many of our composition and orchestration course materials.

Courses discussed in this session:
- MA Professional Media Composition
- MA Orchestration for Films, Games and Television
- MFA Media Composition and Orchestration
- MFA Video Game Composition and Orchestration
- MFA Video Game and Media Composition
