The MA specialism in Medieval History is intended to equip you with a deepened understanding of the European Middle Ages. It also teaches you the skills with which to explore this vast and significant period.
The programme comprises lectures, seminars and taught classes that will introduce you to a series of key concepts: the relation between medieval Europe and the classical past; Latin and vernacular languages; sainthood and medieval politics; economics and society; the Bible interpreted as a political manifesto; the records of royal government; the rise of the bureaucratic state; kingship in both ideal and reality; and many more such themes.
The course has a particular focus on the relations between Britain and Europe in the period 900–1400, drawing upon the unrivalled expertise of our course tutors: Professors Church, Rawcliffe and Vincent, and Drs Doherty, Licence and O’Connor make up one of the best teams of medieval scholars available anywhere in the UK.

Course programme
This two-year part-time Master’s will provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to undertake independent historical research at an advanced level. You will exercise these skills in your dissertation, but the course is also designed to prepare you for doctoral study, should this prove desirable and feasible.
In the first year, you will be given training in Medieval Latin and Medieval palaeography over the course of the two semesters. You will also take part in the core module, a weekly seminar called England and the Continent in the High Middle Ages, which also runs over two semesters. This is team-taught by several members of our faculty, giving you insight into a variety of specialist areas of the field and the most up-to-date research in the subject. The module may cover the following themes and topics: society 970–1066; Domesday Book; letter collections; historical writing; charters; the royal household; royal record keeping; urban communities 1200–1500; rural communities 1200–1500; monasticism; the Church; canon law; and Magna Carta.
Towards the end of your second year you will work on your dissertation, which is a chance to put your skills into practice and pursue an independent piece of historical research of your own devising. You will be supervised by one or more members of the School, gaining guidance and support throughout the process.
