Marius has a tremendous knowledge of the music business and a great passion for his subject. Helped also by a good circle of contacts he brings in external speakers and experts from the music industry to give his students the best possible insights into the practical workings of the sector. As a speaker at these sessions at Hertfordshire University I have always found the discussions animated and full of learning on both sides.
