Mary-Lu Zahalan-Kennedy from Canada has become the first person in the world to graduate with a master's degree in Beatles studies, Reuters reports.

She was one of 12 students to sign up for the Liverpool Hope University course when it was launched in 2009 and the first to graduate, the university said on Wednesday.

"I am so proud of my achievement," Zahalan-Kennedy said. "The course was challenging, enjoyable and it provided a great insight into the impact the Beatles had, and still have to this day, across all aspects of life."

The course called Beatles, Popular Music and Society looks at the studio sound and compositions of the Beatles and how Liverpool helped shape their music. Students also examine how the Beatles' music helped to define identities, culture and society.
