MA/MS in Ancient and Medieval Mediterranean Worlds

This specialisation covers ancient and medieval history, including Western Europe, the Islamic world and Byzantium, in their periods of contact and conflict, examining major questions in Mediterranean history such as cultural identity, cultural memory and imagined communities; regionalism, colonialism and conquest; continuity and change across the ancient and medieval periods; tradition and ideology; economic history and trade, including numismatics; and inter-religious contact, influence and acculturation. Students have the freedom to study specialised courses and projects in depth, shaped by their own interests.
