Course content

The programme draws on our considerable medieval and early modern expertise across history, literature, languages, and archaeology.. We examine issues such as:

• the notions and exercise of secular and spiritual authority
• the operation of power in medieval and early modern societies
• the development of conceptions of and attitudes to gender
• the construction of identities

You’ll become skilled in the advanced research methods and techniques needed to read and interpret original sources. There’ll also be training in languages and palaeography: vital attributes if you want to continue into doctoral research.

You will also have the opportunity to participate fully in the activities of Liverpool’s Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
