Point Blank is a global music school network renowned for its practical, industry-focused training in electronic music and other contemporary music disciplines. Founded in London in 1994, Point Blank is a private music education provider specialising in areas like Music Production, Sound Engineering, DJing, Singing & Songwriting, Music Business, and Radio/Podcasting. It's frequently voted among the world's 'Best Music Production Schools'.

The student experience is centred around hands-on music creation, collaboration, and industry engagement.

Campus Environment: Expect professional studio environments rather than traditional university campuses. Facilities include high-spec recording studios (e.g., SSL Duality desks), DJ booths with industry-standard Pioneer DJ/Native Instruments gear, production workstations (Mac/PC with relevant software like Ableton Live, Logic Pro), vocal booths, live rooms, and practice rooms. London recently added Dolby Atmos studios.

Learning Experience: Highly practical and project-based. Students spend significant time using equipment and software. Tutors provide direct feedback and mentorship. Online courses use a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) with video tutorials, notes, project files, plus regular 1-to-1 video sessions with instructors and live masterclasses.

Community & Networking: Point Blank fosters a community of aspiring musicians, producers, and DJs. Networking is encouraged through school events, masterclasses, collaborations, and industry connections. Online students interact via forums and collaborative features in the VLE.

Accommodation: Point Blank does not operate its own halls of residence. They provide guidance and resources to help students find private accommodation (shared flats, houses, private student halls) in their campus cities (London, LA, etc.).

East London is a vibrant and creative area with plenty to explore:

Shoreditch: Trendy area with street art, vintage shops, independent boutiques, bars, and restaurants.

Columbia Road Flower Market (Sunday): Beautiful flower market.

Boxpark: Pop-up mall made of shipping containers.

Spitalfields Market: Historic covered market.

Student Discounts: Eligible full-time students (18+) at Point Blank Music School may be eligible for the 18+ Student Oyster photocard. This provides 30% off adult-rate Travelcards and Bus & Tram Passes, making travel significantly more affordable. Crucially, eligibility depends on the course duration and intensity and whether Point Blank Music School is registered with TfL for this scheme. You will need to confirm this with the school directly. Application involves online registration via the TfL website, uploading a digital photo, and the school confirming enrollment electronically. A non-refundable fee applies, and the photocard is collected from a nominated Tube station.
