M.Phil. / P.Grad.Dip. in Medieval Studies

Trinity’s interdisciplinary Medieval Studies programme equips students with the critical skills needed for in-depth research on medieval texts, sources, and artefacts while allowing students to specialise in an approach aligned with their interests. The teaching takes full advantage of Trinity’s world-leading holdings of medieval manuscripts and other artefacts, as well as those of other Dublin institutions and opportunities available for students to explore the built remains of medieval Ireland. The course offers students the choice of three strands:History. Language and Literature and Culture and Civilisation.

Applicants should normally have at least an upper second class (2.1) Honours Bachelor's degree or equivalent (for example, GPA of 3.3) in a relevant area. Since places on the course are limited, applicants may be interviewed or asked to submit a writing sample for assessment.
