Course details
Modules
The Medieval Studies programme at UWTSD allows students to explore many different aspects of this rich and vibrant period of history. It combines a study of change over time in broad sweeping survey modules with more focused, topic-centred modules. Each module is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops, always in small groups. The teaching is research-led, rooted in the professional interests and expertise of the lecturers. Students will encounter multiple approaches to and source materials for our understanding of the medieval past, with a particular focus on utilising the onsite archive of manuscript and printed primary sources. This results in a rounded and comprehensive programme of study which grounds students in the requisite theories, methodologies and practices of the discipline of history. The first year of study comprises of a number of core modules examining topics such as the Crusades, the role of the church and the origins of universities. These will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to undertake more specialised studies in subsequent years. Second- and third-year modules include varied modules concentrate on topics such as medieval saints, the Normans, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, and the Cistercian monastic order. You then get chance to harness the experiences acquired through your studies in an independent project in your second year and a final-year dissertation.
