Summary
This programme will provide you with what you need to pursue advanced research in medieval history. It will help you to expand your own research interests through small, seminar-based classes.
Resources
You will have access to world-class resources, most notably the impressive combined collections of the National Library of Scotland and the University of Edinburgh Main Library.
In addition to this, you will belong to a thriving community of scholars by becoming a member of the highly cross-disciplinary Edinburgh Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CMRS), which organises regular research seminars as well as a range of other academic and social events. Core courses
You will take two compulsory courses, which will provide a general introduction to graduate study in history and give you the opportunity to develop your research skills.
Option courses
You will be able to choose from two sets of optional courses, subject to availability. One set will allow you to further expand your research skills, including courses on Paleography, Latin and research methodology. The other set contains courses that reflect the research specialism of our medieval historians.
It may also be possible to enroll on relevant courses in other parts of the University, such as the School of Divinity, the Edinburgh College of Art, and the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures. This would give you the opportunity to learn the value of an interdisciplinary approach to medieval research.
The optional courses that we offer range widely in terms of :
-
chronology, from Classical Antiquity to the Renaissance
-
geography, the western fringes of Europe to the eastern Mediterranean
-
methodology
You will be able to select these in order to build your own path.
