If you are a linguist with an interest in the development of language, then Mediaeval History would provide a useful and informative background subject as a First or Second level course and might interest you enough to form part of a Joint Honours degree. Our understanding of this period is often created by impressions we formed in childhood from movies, documentaries and works of fiction. It is thus all too easy to glamorise the mediaeval past or to dismiss it as primitive and remote. Here is your chance to get a clearer picture of the background to the modern world. The teachers of Mediaeval History at St Andrews are enthusiastic about opening students’ minds to its fascinating riches.


Anyone interested in the development of European culture will enjoy the chance to understand the historical background to that cultural heritage. This could range from the Muslim world to the Norman conquest of England, from the Byzantine Empire to the Viking invasions of northern Europe. The popes, kings, knights, women and peasants of mediaeval Europe are the figures studied in this colourful world.
