Liverpool Hope University launched a Master of Arts degree in The Beatles. The course “The Beatles, Popular Music and Society” consists of four 12-week taught modules, a dissertation and, according to the University, it is the first of it’s kind in the United Kingdom, and possibly the world.
“There have been over 8,000 books about The Beatles but there has never been serious academic study and that is what we are going to address,” said Mike Brocken, senior lecturer in popular music at Hope.
“This MA is expected to attract a great deal of attention, not just locally but nationally and we have already had enquiries from abroad, particularly the United States.”
