Welcome to the AudioLab!
A research group within the University of York School of Physics, Engineering & Technology
The AudioLab offers courses from BEng and MEng undergraduate Electronic Engineering with Music Technology Systems, through postgraduate (taught) MSc in Audio and Music Technology, through to postgraduate research degrees (MSc by Research, PhD).
We specialise in research into various aspects of Spatial and Immersive Audio, Virtual Production, and VR/XR. We also host a doctoral training programme in Sound Interactions in the Metaverse.
The AudioLab team is responsible for leading CoSTAR LiveLAB on behalf of the University of York. Based at Production Park in Wakefield, the Live Lab is part of CoSTAR: Convergent Screen Technologies And performance in Real Time – a £75.6m national research and development network of laboratories that are developing new technology to maintain the UK’s world-leading position in gaming, TV, film, performance, and digital entertainment.
The AudioLab has strong links to fellow University of York project, XR Stories, collaborating across research, industry partnerships and technical expertise. From their office and immersive R&D lab at The Guildhall in York city centre, XR Stories works with researchers, businesses and creative practitioners to support innovation in technology-led creative content, experiences and stories.
