Medieval Studies, MA

Our MA Medieval Studies is an interesting interdisciplinary master’s degree that allows you to roam across history, archaeology, literature and languages from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance, and across countries from the British Isles and France to northeast Europe and the Holy Land. Teaching is empowered by Swansea University’s specialist expertise in areas including gender, identities, aristocratic culture, and frontiers and borderlands. Throughout the programme, you also have the chance to develop your knowledge of the medieval heritage of South Wales and the surrounding region. If you are looking to further develop your research, analytical and presentation skills, ready for a career in the public or private sector, or are preparing for higher level study or research, then this could be the perfect choice for you.

For applicants whose first language is not English, we require IELTS 6.5 overall (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component) or equivalent English test. Please see further information about our English Language requirements.
