The University of Exeter has said a degree in magic being offered in 2024 will be one of the first in the United Kingdom, reports BBC News.

The “innovative” MA in Magic and Occult Science has been created following a “recent surge in interest in magic”, the course leader said. It would offer an opportunity to study the history and impact of witchcraft and magic around the world on society and science, bosses said.

Academics with expertise in history, literature, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, psychology, drama and religion will show the role of magic on the West and the East. The university said it was one of the only postgraduate courses of its kind in the UK to combine the study of the history of magic with such a wide range of other subjects.
