Pop star studies? The schools teaching all about stardom

A college in Scotland is teaching a class all about the 1990s band Oasis.

They're one of the biggest rock bands to ever come out of the UK.

Some of their most famous songs were huge and this year the band is getting back together for a special tour, with over a million people having bought tickets.

So if you're a bit confused what all the fuss is about, Glasgow Clyde College is offering a masterclass - like a special lesson - all about the band.

It means the band joins the likes of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift in have special courses designed about their success.

The Oasis course at Glasgow Clyde College will be taught by two HUGE Oasis fans, who have seen the band live more than 60 times combined, so they really know their stuff.

One of the teachers, Amy Butler even named her son after band member, Noel.

Assistant principal Robert Anderson said: "We wanted to create something that would help fans, especially younger ones attending with their parents, understand why this band still means so much to so many."

Taylor Swift classes

This isn't the first time the college has done something like this.

Last year, they ran a Taylor Swift class to help parents understand their kids' love for her music.

In fact Tay-Tay and her impact has been studied all around the world.

At the University of Texas, students can study Taylor Swift's songs alongside literary legends like William Shakespeare.

In Melbourne, Australia, researchers gathered for a "Swiftposium" in 2024 - the world's first international academic conference to study and discuss her work.

And when the Eras tour came to Liverpool, the City's Institute of Popular Music, organised Tay Day - a study day for "fans, students and academics to engage with the cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift".

Harry Styles: Class in session at Harry's House

American Universities seem to love studying the business of pop stardom!

At another one, students can take a real class called 'Harry Styles and the Cult of Celebrity'.

It looks at Harry's music, fashion, and how he's helped people talk about big ideas like identity and culture in today's world.

Yes - homework might include listening to One Direction.

Beyoncé: Queen Bey - Now in class

We couldn't leave out one of the biggest names in showbiz, could we?

You've probably danced to a Beyoncé banger or two, but did you know you can study her at one of the world's top universities?

Yale University - one of America's most famous and respected universities - announced a course all about Beyoncé last year.

Students will get to explore her music, influence, and world tours.

It's a deep dive into the world of Beyoncé - glittery cowboy hat is optional.

The Beatles

From their catchy two-minute hits to their funky album covers and iconic fashion, The Beatles changed music forever.

At Berklee College of Music in Boston, students can take The Music of the Beatles, where they listen to classic songs and even the tunes the Fab Four wrote for other artists.
