About

The Medieval Studies students at the University of Lincoln have access to support and training which aim to develop the practical and critical skills necessary for investigation and study at doctoral level.

Overview

As a medieval city, Lincoln provides the perfect backdrop to undertake your research. You will have access to a wealth of local resources, including our established Medieval Studies Research Group.

Medieval Studies students at te University of Lincoln can benefit from a broad range of academic expertise in Roman and medieval history of the British Isles, Western Europe, and the Mediterranean (with a focus on the Iberian Peninsula), along with gender and literary studies; social, political, economic, legal, religious and cultural history; archaeology; medievalism and the history of emotions.

The Medieval Studies Research Group organise research activities and events that provide a stimulating and inclusive environment in which postgraduate students are encouraged to contribute by discussing and debating theoretical concepts with fellow students, scholars, and visiting academics.

Strong links exist within our College of Arts - specifically the Schools of Film and Media and English and Journalism. An interdisciplinary research culture facilitates collaboration with colleagues across a wide range of topics.

For any specific queries, please contact the Programme Leader and/or any member of the Medieval Studies Research Group.

Research

The MPhil/PhD programme relies on the research expertise and collaboration of members of our Medieval Studies Research Group.
