Former Miss Canada finalist has become the first person in the world to graduate with a Masters degree in The Beatles.
Canadian singer Mary-Lu Zahalan-Kennedy, 53, was one of the first students to sign up for the course on the Fab Four when it launched at Liverpool Hope University in March 2009.
Twelve full-time students joined the Master of Arts course in 'The Beatles, Popular Music and Society' and Mary-Lu is the first of her class to graduate.

What do you think? A useful or worthy degree?

Surely it depends on what the students learn and the job opportunities available.

If it makes them specialists in terms of museum curators, costume advisors, blah, blah, blah and they can earn a living out of it to a standard above that they would have had without a the degree, then its a useful and worthy degree.

You could have a degree in a socially acceptable subject like engineering, or physics and either not get a job, or go into something like mamagement where the subject matter is not as important as the process.

This is raw talent from the runner up in USA pageant. Why not a Beatles degree? The words of their songs are worth studying.

Such a beautiful song happy place

As for the degree thing, this to me sounds more like a hobby or leisure course, not something that is going to be too useful for anything other than one's own interest.

But then I guess a lot of degrees turn out to be that way dunno

Indeed daydream

John Lennon was a poet, one of my favourite pieces of his is "Beautiful Boy" dedicated to his son Sean.

And the part that lingers most is where he advises him ..

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"
