中世纪研究

King’s contains one of the largest concentration of medievalists in the
UK, bringing together scholars in medieval history, languages,
literature and culture, with expertise across Europe and Asia. Our MA in
Medieval Studies not only offers specialist training in crucial
research skills—in particular, medieval Latin and palaeography—but also
is outward-looking, exploring and critiquing the place of medieval
history and perceptions of the medieval past in the world today.

The programme takes full advantage of its place in central London, home
to some of the largest collections of medieval manuscripts as well as
material and visual culture in the British Library, the British Museum
and other institutions. The course caters for history students,
literature students and language students and introduces them to
interdisciplinary techniques and challenges. We take pride in our
'hands-on' approach to the medieval past, which effectively prepares
students for future doctoral work by providing them with the skills to
engage in some of the medieval period's most hidden aspects—through
teaching students how (literally) to read script and how to see how
images of the distant past soak through contemporary life in different
ways across the world. The programme aims to enable students to take the
in-depth analytical skills and understanding of the past which they
have gained by studying at this level both into many careers and into
the further study of the disciplines which make up medieval studies,
whether privately or professionally.
