Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Music and Sound Recording (Plus Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

From classic cassette tapes, to the vinyl revival and global streaming services, recorded sound has become the primary way we experience music.

At York, Music and Sound Recording (BA) acknowledges that music and production are no longer separate art forms. Our course offers you the freedom to develop a tailored set of intellectual, technical and musical skills.

You'll gain practical experience in audio engineering and refine your knowledge of recording techniques essential to a career in music technology. Our core modules cover how to understand, record, mix and master a wide variety of music genres, from pop to rock to classical and beyond. Our flexible, modular approach lets you shape your learning to your passions and career aspirations. You can study modules available to all undergraduate students in Music. In addition, we offer modules tailored to this course.

Our six recording studios give you access to 60 years of audio technology: vintage tape machines; analogue synthesizers; high-end outboard and mixing consoles; and a range of digital audio workstations and plugins.

Our dedicated careers service will guide you through your next steps. You can gain industry experience before graduation with our growing internship and placements programme. Out graduations have gone on to become successful arts practitioners, working in recording studios, radio, Dolby Atmos mixing, hardware and software development and more.
