Medieval Studies (Research)

MPhil/PhD Medieval Studies offers you the opportunity to undertake an intensive study of a topic of your choice in the history, literature, and/or culture of the medieval period, and to make an original contribution to scholarly understandings of your chosen subject area. As a medieval city, Lincoln provides an ideal backdrop to undertake your research. You will have access to a wealth of local resources, including our established Medieval Studies Research Group.

While the emphasis is on your independent research, you will receive guidance from academic supervisors whose broad range of expertise includes Roman and medieval history of the British Isles, Western Europe, and the Mediterranean (with a focus on the Iberian Peninsula); along with gender and literary studies; social, political, economic, legal, religious and cultural history; archaeology; medievalism; and the history of emotions.
