Location of University of Dublin Trinity College
Medieval studies are flourishing at Trinity College, both at the level of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and at the research level. There is a medieval component in the undergraduate courses of at least 8 departments in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and over the last decade more than 30 M.Litt. or Ph.D theses have been completed on topics related to the Middle Ages. About 20 members of the academic staff have as their main focus of research medieval history, philosophy, literature or language.
The College library possesses a large, varied and valuable collection of medieval manuscripts which are regularly consulted by scholars from all over the world and worked on by members of staff and research students of the University. Trinity College has hosted major international conferences on a wide range of aspects of medieval culture, and staff and research students from the College regularly attend and contribute to conferences elsewhere. It is in the context of this established, widely-recognized and vibrant research culture that the present M.Phil. course is offered.
This interdisciplinary course is designed for well-qualified graduates who wish to extend their interest in medieval studies. The flexible structure of the course allows students to construct their degree around their particular areas of interest, while acquiring both the technical expertise to investigate primary medieval documents and an insight into the complexities of medieval culture generally. Students will have the opportunity to be taught not only by Trinity staff but also by visiting lecturers from other internationally renowned institutions.
Contents
All students will follow the course in Research methodology. They will also choose 2 out of 3 other courses offered under the heading Core Courses. The core courses are as follows:
I. Core Courses
All students will follow four core courses in Michaelmas Term:
* Research Methodology (27 hours)
* Medieval Thought (18 hours)
* Medieval Culture and Society(18 hours)
II. Options (18 hours each unless otherwise specified; Hilary and Trinity Terms)
Although every effort will be made to accommodate student choice, the decision as to whether a particular option is offered will be subject to student demand and the availability of teaching. Normally, an option will not run unless at least two students wish to take it; in principle, all options are available to students of other taught M. Phil. courses. Most options are taught in Hilary term and consist of nine two-hour sessions, but those offered by staff from outside the College may be organised differently. Students are requested to list four options in order of preference when making their choices.
III. Research Project Leading to Dissertation (Thesis)
Between April and August students will work on a research project. This aspect of the course will test the ability of the student to undertake original research on a strictly defined topic and to organize and communicate the findings in an appropriately scholarly form. Topics may be chosen from any area covered by the course, but students will be encouraged to make use of the rich manuscript and printed resources of Trinity´s Library. Each project will be supervised by a specialist in the relevant field.
