Student Opportunities
We have an excellent network and maintain an active dialogue with employers in the industry to give our students and alumni the best opportunities. Our strong industry connections ensure that unique internships, studio placements and competitions generally become available on a weekly basis. From these, we have had many graduates who have gone on to work at studios including Abbey Road, become in-house sound engineers for labels such as Mute Records and find work at radio stations such as Radio One and KISS FM.
As part of the Point Blank experience, we offer students at the London school free music career advice sessions with professional music consultant Kwame Kwaten of Ferocious Talent Management. Kwame has steered the careers of many successful artists including Dido, Rumer and Laura Mvula as well as scoring No.1 hits himself as a producer (Shola Ama) and artist (D:Infuence). Kwame’s feedback and advice is an invaluable tool for our students. You can find more information on these types of opportunities on our daily digital magazine Point Blank Plus.
