Course Overview
The major part of the programme, Medieval Studies, is formed from four modules or 80 credits taken by the students. Medieval Studies is an interdisciplinary degree that allows you to explore all aspects of the medieval world. The Medieval Studies degree is structured around methodological and research modules such as Introduction to Medieval Studies in your first year, and Medieval Manuscript Studies and Documentary Sources for Medieval Studies in the second year. To these you may add relevant modules that may be drawn from any of the contributing subject areas: History, archaeology, English, Theology, and Classics.
The minor part of the programme introduces students to ideas and issues surrounding the field of Heritage Management and amounts to 40 credits or two modules per year. This part of the programme is specifically designed to enhance a student's knowledge of Heritage in its broadest sense and to provide an appropriate set of skills and understandings applicable to a broad range of employments in the Heritage sector or cultural industries more generally.
Running through all the modules is clear emphasis on enhancing the employability potential of our students, notably through a compulsory work placement, and for those that wish, the opportunity to do a practice based, work related Dissertation. Students also acquire an understanding of heritage marketing and various data management and analysis methods.
