Visiting students - Medieval Studies
The Centre for Medieval Studies is one of the world’s leading centres for postgraduate study and research into the Middle Ages.
Please contact us for more information on module choices and research possibilities. This includes students wanting to apply for modules in the MA in Medieval Literatures and Languages.

Our students also have the option to take the LFA module Arabic for Medievalists - LFA00002M. Some modules are also available in our contributing departments (Archaeology, History, History of Art and English).
