Course Overview
This interdisciplinary programme enables students to study the Medieval period from a range of different subject disciplines that embraces History, English, Theology, Celtic studies and Archaeology.
There are two compulsory modules that can be taken in the first or second semester, Research Methodology and Studying the Medieval. Research methods introduces students to the nuts and bolts of research, bibliographical and archival sources. ?
'Studying the medieval' builds on this foundation to look more closely at record sources for Medieval Studies and at aspects of the study of medieval manuscripts, such as iconography and typology. This module is based in large part on the University's special collections in the Roderick Bowen Library and Archives; unique in Wales this offers our students close and unrivalled access to our medieval manuscripts and early printed books
Students may then choose 4 further modules in medieval history (such as 'Thomas Becket: archbishop, martyr, saint?) or medieval literature (such as 'Beowulf and the Anglo-Saxon Heroic?).
For MA students the second part of the course comprises a 60 credit dissertation.
