Point Blank Music School is committed to delivering the very best music education available whilst ensuring value for money for students. We provide a world-class experience and believe that the only barrier to success should be the limit of an individuals own ambition, talent and imagination - regardless of background, everyone has the right to a great education.

We are pleased to confirm that our recent application to change category with the Office for Students was successful and from now on, all eligible Higher Education students can apply to have their full course fees covered by a student loan. Until now, the maximum loan available left students needing to pay "top-up" fees which prevented some people from joining our courses and reaching their full potential – this is no longer the case.

We hope that this change in status will help us break down barriers in music education and reach those talented individuals who otherwise may not have entered Higher Education or had the opportunity to study and grow with Point Blank.

You can apply directly by registering and completing our HE application form. Alternatively, you can apply via UCAS. 

In line with the sector, our fees will be changing in 2021. You can find full details of our fees for September 2020 and January 2021 onwards below.

Fees - September 2020

The following table shows course fees for students starting in September 2020. These course fees will be applicable for the duration of your course. 

Fees - january 2021 onwards

The following table shows course fees for students starting from January 2021 onwards. These course fees will be applicable for the duration of your course. 

Registration fees are used to cover the cost of your ID card and are owed when accepting your place on the course. This will be refunded to you upon completion of your course when your student card is returned. UCAS applicants can accept their place through UCAS without payment of the registration fee - this will be due upon commencement of the course. 

Recommended Software & Hardware

We supply all the equipment you need for your class and for practice time at our studios. You have access to our facilities 7 days a week during term time for the length of your course (excluding scheduled breaks). Outside of class and coming into the studios, we recommend you have your own equipment at home to work on your assignments and this will come at an additional cost to the course fees. Below is a provisional list of equipment and software you should consider for your home set up.
