Course summary
Overview
Have you ever wondered what our world owes to the Middle Ages? Would you like to explore the medieval past while developing your research skills? If so, then our MA in Medieval History is for you. This course will make you re-think what you know about the Middle Ages and open your eyes to the medieval legacy that remains all around us.
At UEA you’ll be taught by internationally recognised scholars. Focusing on the years between 900 and 1500, they’ll help you to understand the political, ecclesiastical, social and cultural history of medieval England and Western Europe.
You’ll explore medieval history through seminars and tutorials, which will also equip you with the skills to access medieval manuscript sources. Then you’ll put your skills into practice as you pursue your own historical research in a dissertation.
Norwich is an ideal city in which to study medieval history. Not only does it retain many medieval buildings, but our historians have access to Norfolk Record Office’s vast collection of medieval documents, as well as to the cutting-edge archaeological and heritage work of Norwich Castle Museum.
Our MA will open all kinds of paths for you. Graduates come from across the world to study with us. Many have gone on to undertake doctoral study, and this could be your first step towards becoming a professional historian. The skills you’ll learn will serve you equally well in careers as diverse as heritage and tourism, teaching, law, and many other professions.

University of East Anglia UEADramaHi, I'm Alexandra and I'm a 2nd year Drama and Creative Writing undergraduate student at UEA. I'm Spanish/Bolivian but have lived most of my life in Bolivia. As someone with a passion for stage and screen, I chose the Drama and Creative Writing course at UEA to develop and acquire more skills that would allow me to succeed in my career path. I am particularly passionate about scriptwriting, acting and filmmaking, so in the future, I hope I can dedicate myself to all of them. I was previously studying graphic design in Bolivia, but I decided to apply to UEA to pursue my goals; however, I still dedicate some time to it because I love it. I also enjoy photography (especially nature photography), drawing and painting, writing and dancing. Albert

This comes from a place of personal interest because I had a chronic genetic disease but am now cured and wish to help on this front by getting into research. Beth

University of East Anglia UEAMedicineI enjoy developing myself as a student, learning new skills and interacting with people. A favorite pastime of mine is reading, especially thrillers but I'm open to other genres as well. I'm originally from India, specifically from Lucknow, the city of Nawabs (and Tunday kababs), and relish trying new foods and connecting with people from different cultures through their traditions :) Having grown up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that is the place I call home. The links I have to all these different places has given me a broader worldview, and allowed me to experience life from a different lens.
