The course allows you to combine intensive technical training with a wide choice of optional modules and independent dissertation research. Designed to foster interdisciplinary study at an advanced level, the MA enables you to develop expertise across two or three disciplines through intensive small-group teaching.


You can choose from a broad range of optional modules offered across seven departments while developing the practical skills needed to investigate medieval and Renaissance sources first-hand. You will receive specialised training in working with medieval manuscripts and documents, as well as early modern manuscripts and printed books. You can also take modules in the curation and librarianship of medieval and early modern collections.


You will benefit from our expertise in manuscript studies, equipping you to make a rapid transition to professional-level manuscript research. Many of our graduates have published their first research articles based on work completed during the MA.


Your language training is equally comprehensive. If you’re new to Latin, you will benefit from intensive tuition with unusually high contact hours. You can also study Intermediate and Advanced Latin alongside a range of medieval and modern European languages.
