It may sound strange to you but a university is to offer a master's degree teaching students about social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Bebo.
The £4,400 MA in Social Media will also explain how to set up blogs and publish podcasts.
The one-year course at Birmingham City University {ln:nw:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/5073683/University-offers-social-media-degree-about-Facebook-Twitter-and-Bebo.html 'will} consider social networking sites as communications and marketing tools.
The course, which will start next year, was advertised through a makeshift video on the university's website.
