Music Production & Sound Engineering (Online) - CertHE

pointblank Music School

had a great Uni experience so far, facilities are good, lecturers are super useful and explain things well. would be good if there was more plugins on the computers or more hardware stuff like synths tho, would make booking the studios more worth my time.

Firstly, I study online from Ibiza, Spain, All I can say is the course I am studying MPSE BA (Hons) including the tutors have been nothing short of first class. I would highly recomend the online course to anyone like me, that cannot take 3 years out of an already busy life to study at campus. The study hours work for me and the masterclasses sessions is an excellent oppotunity to practise and ask questions. Honestly, I cannot fault the school the modules or its teachers. Its a 10/10 from me. Dont wait to long like I did, get enrolled and learn properly, it will get you to your target goals quicker in the long term.

Great facilities and lecturers with lots of professional experience in the industry. Some lectures do feel like they run too long, with only 3 or 4 hour lectures and nothing shorter. With a less practical module there can feel like a lack of engagement there. And there could be some more teaching on the running of the studios, as there are several different ones and some of the mixing desks are pretty complicated, even a lot of the technician staff don’t know how to fix some of the problems with them which isn’t good.

The whole time I’ve been studying at Point Blank, I’ve experienced consistent support, understanding, and genuine care from staff across many areas of the university. The wellbeing team have been incredibly supportive, and my lecturers have always shown patience, flexibility, and encouragement. As someone with learning difficulties and neurodivergence, I have been given ample time, resources, and reassurance to work in a way that suits how I learn best. This has made a huge difference to my confidence, progress, and overall experience. What really makes Point Blank special is how inclusive and student focused it feels. The staff don’t just teach they listen, adapt, and genuinely want students to succeed as individuals, not just academically but personally as well. If there were areas to improve, clearer communication around deadlines and expectations at particularly busy points in the term could help reduce pressure. However, whenever I’ve struggled, support has always been available, and that has made the challenges manageable. Overall, Point Blank has been a supportive, creative, and understanding environment where I’ve felt seen, valued, and encouraged to grow.

Best thing is the tutors and staff being in the industry themselves. Worst thing is the studios not being consistent with each other when it comes to computers and equipment. 16gb ram on some and 8gb on others.
