1. Generate or extend insights into a broad range of subject areas relevant to the study of the Middle Ages (e.g. archaeology, political, cultural and social history, literature, music, theology and liturgy)

2. Generate or extend knowledge of research methodologies appropriate to individual medievalist disciplines.

3. Enhance the level of methodological reflection and critical scholarship.

4. Enhance study and research skills related to the study of the Middle Ages (e.g. use of literature, IT resources, primary source material).

5. Enhance oral presentation skills as appropriate at a postgraduate level.

Students who enter the MA programme will have obtained some familiarity with the Middle Ages from the perspective of one particular discipline. The course is designed to introduce students to the breadth of subject areas and methodologies subsumed under the umbrella of medieval studies as broadly understood. Scholars from Bangor will lead thematic sessions on individual aspects (such as archaeology, history, literature, liturgy, music) and advanced skills pivotal to medievalist research (specialised reference sources and databases). Additionally, students will encounter cutting-edge research presented by scholars from Bangor and beyond in the research seminar series offered by individual Schools and Research Centres within the College of Arts, Humanities and Business. These sessions on 'Understanding the Middle Ages' will vary year on year, depending on the availability of staff and the students’ core interests.
