Institute for Medieval Studies masters degrees

Masters courses

Our Masters programme provides an environment to explore a variety of medieval topics and their modern significance through compulsory and optional modules. Learning a specific language is optional. The programme culminates with an independent research dissertation.

You will be taught by experts who have specialist knowledge across a range of chronological and geographical topics from different disciplines and ways of thinking about the past. The programme draws on the extensive connections of the Institute with heritage institutions, sites and collections, such as the Royal Armouries Museum and the Brotherton Library Special Collections.

You will have the chance to be an active member of the Institute, with opportunities to participate in seminar series and field trips. Enrolment on the course provides free entry to the Leeds International Medieval Congress, the largest international gathering for medieval studies in the world.
