pointblank Wins ‘Best Independent HE’ at the WhatUni Student Choice Awards
You may have heard that we won the award for the ‘Best Independent HE’ provider award at the 2018 edition of the WhatUni student choice awards, and this is because we’re incredibly proud of the achievement. Ultimately it was our students who voted for us, and they are what make the school, so we want to say a huge thank you to all of our students, as well as our expert instructors and tireless staff.
