CTOnews.com, October 9 (Xinhua)-- the University of Exeter in the UK has said that a new master's degree, Magic Law, will be opened in 2024, based on a "recent surge in interest in magic", according to BBC. It is worth mentioning that J.K., author of the Harry Potter series. Rowling (J. K. Rowling) graduated from the University of Exeter in England.

CTOnews.com notes that the degree will begin in September 2024, using history, literature, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, psychology, and drama to demonstrate the role of magic in the West and the East.

Professor Emily Serov, director of the course, said: "the recent surge in interest in magic and occult inside and outside academia is at the heart of the most pressing problems in our society. Decolonization, the exploration of alternative epistemology, feminism and anti-racism are the core of the plan."
