Music and Sound Recording

About this course

Music and sound recording sits at the intersection of musical creativity and the technology through which modern music is made, captured, and shared.

Understanding both music and the technology of recording gives you the capacity to work across the full range of contemporary music production contexts. At the University of York, this three-year full-time degree treats creativity and technology as central to each other rather than as separate concerns. You will develop musical skills in analysis, composition, and critical listening alongside technical proficiency in recording, mixing, and sound design. The programme gives you the freedom
