Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This course develops your practical and theoretical understanding of music whilst exploring new genres and building versatility as a musician. You'll usually start with performance study, musicianship and music in context, grounding you in harmony, aural skills and repertoire history. In Year 2, your performance technique deepens through recitals and ensemble work, whilst you develop composition and music technology skills, and learn pedagogy and community music practice. By Year 3, you'll move towards a specialist pathway such as performance, composition, musicology, music production or music education, whilst studying professional development in the music industry. You'll conclude with a final recital, portfolio or major project.
Who it's for
You're drawn to music across multiple styles and want to deepen both your playing and your understanding of how music works. You enjoy the balance of hands-on practice and intellectual enquiry, thinking critically about what you create, not just performing it. You're self-directed enough to shape your own learning through specialist options and an independent project, and you see yourself working in music or a related field after graduation. This course suits musicians who want grounding in real-world skills alongside academic rigour.

International students
What applying to York St John University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £12,100 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check York St John University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with York St John University and gov.uk before you apply.
