Medieval Islamic Cultures Pathway
Our new interdisciplinary pathway examines the cultures of the Islamic world through the prism of literature, history, archaeology, art and architecture. Drawing on the wide-ranging experience of our staff, you can create a bespoke programme that demonstrates the close connections across the medieval Mediterranean and beyond into Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Anatolia, Central Asia and East Africa.
You must take at least two Islamic-related option modules (of three), and one Arabic skills module, and complete your dissertation on an Islamic topic.
Modules may include:
- Islamic Worlds - CMS Interdisciplinary
- Medieval Islamic Architecture on the Frontiers: Synthesis, Innovation and Change - History of Art
- Chaucer, Arabic Learning and the East - English
- Medieval Jerusalems? The Holy City between Christians, Jews and Muslims - History
- Ceramics of the Islamic World - History of Art
If you wish to follow the Medieval Islamic Cultures pathway, please indicate this in your application. When you apply, you will be applying for the MA in Medieval Studies, and your degree title will be the same. If you would like further information about the pathway, please email cms-office@york.ac.uk.
