University students can learn about coal-mining, rugby league and brass bands as part of a new degree course in northern life.
The one-year Master of Arts course in Northern Studies will run at Leeds Metropolitan University from September.
It is thought to be the first time an English university has offered a course dedicated to northernness.
The university said the course had already attracted interest from students as far afield as Essex.
Professor Tony Collins, professor of the social history of sport, said the degree course had been launched as part of the university's Institute of Northern Studies to recognise northern interests and life in the north of England.
