Finally, something I'm interested in enough to get a PhD in! Metal! The University of Newcastle in Australia is offering a few lucky metal heads the chance to fully immerse themselves in the subject and earn their doctorate. This isn't the only interesting class they're offering. You could also study the Geography of Homelessness, Veganism, or Unschooling. If you choose to study metal (duh, why wouldn't you?) your curriculum could take you all over the globe. According to the class brochure broad areas of potential study will be considered. "you could study Death Metal in Finland as opposed to Heavy Metal in Australia". I'm going to apply. Please refer to me as Dr. Aimee Brooks if you'd be so kind.
