The medieval world represented a millennium in the historical experience of societies in western Europe - a civilisation distinct from that of antiquity and from our modern age but one which drew upon the one and helped form the other. To enable you to explore the rich legacy of this period, modules taught by medievalists in the Faculty are brought together so you may appreciate the Middle Ages from several different standpoints. You combine the study of its literature with the study of its history and its wider cultural legacy, including its philosophy and its architectural and artistic output.
Medieval civilisation is studied in conjunction with another appropriate subject.
You must also consult the Joint Honours course requirements for the other subject in your chosen combination. You are, however, normally interviewed and offers are made accordingly. Mature candidates and those with non-A level qualifications will also be considered . The other subject areas from which modules can be drawn are given on page 37. A dissertation may be submitted in lieu of an examination for one area of study. .
