First ever Masters degree on The Beatles
Written by admin on March 3, 2009 – 5:51 am -| Liverpool Hope University is offering what it claims to be the first Masters degree on The Beatles. |
Mike Brocken, course leader and senior lecturer in popular music at Liverpool Hope University, said:
“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. The Beatles influenced so much of society, not just with their music, but also with fashion from their collar-less jackets to their psychedelic clothes. Their output covered a huge range from the black and white film A Hard Day’s Night to Strawberry Fields Forever which was accompanied by arguably the first pop video. Forty years on, now is the right time and Liverpool is the right place to study The Beatles.”
