I found the Music Licensing and Royalties course to be quite informative, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. As a Japanese music enthusiast, I was interested in learning more about the global music industry and how licensing works. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, with relevant examples and case studies. While I felt that some topics could have been explored in more depth, overall I'm satisfied with what I learned and appreciate the opportunity to study at Stanmore School of Business.

I loved the interactive discussions and the opportunity to network with fellow students from around the world. The course has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams in the music industry, and I'm so grateful for this experience. Thank you, Stanmore School of Business, for an amazing course!

I approached the Music Licensing and Royalties course at Stanmore School of Business with a critical eye, as I've taken similar courses in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and breadth of knowledge presented in this course. As a Danish music lawyer, I appreciated the detailed analysis of copyright laws and licensing agreements. The course materials were well-researched and up-to-date, with relevant examples from the European music industry. While I would have liked to see more discussion of emerging trends and technologies, overall I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to professionals looking to expand their knowledge of music licensing and royalties.
