Who can apply?

Applicants for the MA are normally expected to have a BA degree, with a good classification (a 2:1 or higher) or equivalent Grade Point Average. Information about country-specific qualification requirements can be found on the university’s course finder page.

Previous study in any of the related fields (i.e. history, history of art, literature and archaeology – even in non-medieval periods) is particularly helpful, and the ability to write an academic essay is essential.

While some experience of medieval subjects is helpful, you are not expected to have taken many medieval courses before arriving.

We encourage applications from mature students. We recognise that such applicants may have fewer conventional qualifications and will work with you to ensure your experience is best reflected in an application.
