The Beatles, Heritage and Culture MA (Online)

This online, part-time programme draws on Liverpool’s Beatles industry and heritage sectors to challenge the traditional frameworks within which the band, their music, and their story have so often been presented. You will be encouraged to critically evaluate the ongoing impact of their legacy on areas such as urban planning and regeneration, civic design, heritage, and the tourism and leisure industries, as well as the music and creative industries. Liverpool is a global hub for Beatles research, and your lecturers will include members of the city’s Beatles Legacy Group and benefit from contributions from employees from the sector.
