Medieval History | University of York

Course summary

The programme offers an unparalleled opportunity to study at one of the world's leading centres of expertise in medieval history. The degree is equally suitable for students who wish to pursue doctoral research or careers in teaching, public history, or archives, or for those with enthusiasm for the subject but not yet a clear career direction. Since few students will have had the opportunity to study medieval history in depth at Undergraduate level, the programme offers both wide-ranging training in sources and methods and Option Modules in specialized areas. The University of York’s Medieval MA programmes (in history, literature, archaeology, stained glass) are some of the most popular and sought after.
