Music Technology Systems (with a Foundation Year) (Hons)

Overview

You'll spend your first year learning maths and physics content to A level standard, and you'll begin to develop your practical skills in the electronics lab. The Music Technology Systems (with a Foundation Year) (Hons) programme is offered by the University of York .

If you successfully complete the foundation year you'll automatically continue onto the first year of our degree in Music Technology Systems. You'll explore topics including synthesiser technology, MIDI, sampling and audio signal processing, and learn how this technology is applied in recording studios and field recording projects. You'll use your expertise to create innovative and optimised designs, addressing real-world problems.

You can instead choose to transfer onto any of our other BEng courses within the department. In addition, if you achieve a high score in the Foundation Year exams you will have the opportunity to transfer onto one of our MEng courses.
