Program details

Overview

The PhD in Medieval Studies is offered by the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto, an interdisciplinary program covering the medieval period alongside a Master of Arts option. Students work across traditional disciplinary boundaries and are trained in the basic skills and tools needed to read source materials surviving from the medieval past, culminating in an original dissertation under faculty supervision, working toward the Doctor of Philosophy credential. The minimum admission average for the PhD is A-, and a direct-entry option from a bachelor's degree is available. All students entering the Centre are expected to improve their proficiency in Latin before registration, since the doctoral degree carries Medieval Latin requirements. No standardized English-language tests are required or recommended for domestic or international applicants. Applicants secure their own faculty supervisor after admission.
