| World's first Master in Beatles, Popular music and Society |
|
Liverpool Hope University has launched a brand new MA in The Beatles, Popular Music and Society, the first of its kind in the world. The new course( full and part time), has four modules with specific issues relating to The Beatles and Popular Music, There are 12-week taught modules, plus a dissertation. '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.',says Mike Brocken, Senior Lecturer. 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. ''The Beatles, Popular Music and Society' marks a seminal advance in popular music studies. For the first time in the UK and possibly the world, a postgraduate taught course is offered to research into The Beatles, the city from which they emerged, the contexts of the 1960s, technology, sound and songwriting and the industries that have set up in their wake to capitalise on tourism in the city of Liverpool.'
