This fascinating course allows you to to observe how every aspect of the modern world has its roots in the civilisations of the Classical world.

Throughout the course you will hone the specialist research skills needed for high-level work in any field of Ancient History and Classical Civilisation.

The MA Medieval Studies allows you to roam periods of history from the late antiquity to the renaissance, and geographies from the British Isles and France, to Italy and the Holy Land.
