Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: H662

Here's what University of York says about its Music Technology Systems with a Foundation Year course.

If you have potential, but you're missing the appropriate qualifications, then our foundation year course offers a route onto our Engineering degree programmes.

The course is aimed at:

  • A level students who have not recently studied Maths

  • Mature students looking to change their career

You'll spend your foundation year learning maths and physics content to A level standard. You'll also apply this learning to develop your practical skills in experimental labs.

After successfully completing the foundation year, you'll transfer into Year 1 of an Engineering degree of your choice.

We build employability into every aspect of our courses. Alongside developing an in-depth understanding of your subject, you'll gain a range of transferable skills that will allow you to take on a career in a number of sectors.

All our degree programmes are offered as three-year Bachelors (BEng) courses or four-year Integrated Masters (MEng) courses.

Fun night life but not many shops to go around

University life

Very expensive and the aldi is very far from the east campus. There is a Nisa which is way too expensive for students living by. My accommodation cost is expensive especially living with 12 people.

Very good there is the wellbeing team who can help people during their hard times. Plus there is people who can support thise who may have not found a house or not found any flatmates

I like the accommodations however I dont like the people I am living with. If only they did the application where you match up people by hobbies and interests like Warick University does.

Facilities

I like the timetable set for them, the module may need to think about not making them all presentations. The teacher is good.
