Overview

Students studying the art, culture, history and thought of the years between the fifth and fifteenth centuries graduate backed by the best of the Humanities and well prepared for a range of careers or further studies.

Key Features

The Mediaeval Studies (Hons) degree at University of Toronto studies the history, culture, and languages of the period between the fifth and fifteenth century, an age (sometimes also called “medieval” or “the Middle Ages”) associated by many with the legends of King Arthur and magical beasts, beautiful illuminated manuscripts, the proliferation of monastic traditions, Vikings and Celts, and exciting developments in scientific, theological, and philosophical thought.

Students have the opportunity to study Middle English and Latin, to explore medieval manuscripts, and to pursue independent research projects. The program also encourages students to explore the reception and legacy of the mediaeval world in subsequent centuries and in various forms of art and culture.
