Course Overview

The PhD in Medieval Studies, delivered by a team of internationally-trained academics, is an interdisciplinary research programme normally completed in four years.  Its cross-disciplinary approach encourages students to view the period from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages (c. 500-1500), in Europe as well as in Ireland, in a multidimensional way, even as it allows students to focus on a particular research field.  

The programme’s emphasis on languages and source studies equips students with the linguistic skills and interdisciplinary research methods required to undertake innovative research using manuscripts, primary texts, images and other material objects from the period.  Students also gain some practical experience in a project-based module. 

Depending on their previous qualifications, students attend core modules devoted to Palaeography and Manuscript Studies, alongside Sources & Resources for Medieval Studies during their first two years.  These modules equip them with bibliographical and other research skills to find, read and interpret primary materials in multiple disciplines, as well as introducing them to the research questions and methodologies used by experts in such auxiliary sciences as diplomatic, philology, heraldry, text editing, digital humanities; a team-work project focused on digitised manuscript collections is included. 

At some point students also study Latin and one or two other medieval vernacular languages (no prior knowledge of these languages is required) and might select topical modules in Archaeology, History, Late Antquity, or Literature in Old/Middle English, Old/Middle Irish, Old/Middle High German, or Medieval French (according to availability and particular interests).  Students also complete a project-based module in an area like university tutoring; assisting in a research project, conference organisation or management of research resources; or reaching out to schools or local community groups. 

A PhD thesis of 80,000 words is completed by the end of Year 4.

In addition to Supervisor(s), who oversee students’ thesis research and writing, their progress is monitored by a Graduate Research Committee consisting of three members of academic staff best suited to support their particular projects and selected from the full range of participating disciplines.

Associated Research Centre

The Centre for Antique, Medieval, and Pre-modern Studies at NUI Galway was created by colleagues in Archaeology, Classics, English, French, German, History, Irish and Old and Middle Irish as an initiative operating under the aegis of the Moore Institute. 

Its primary goals are to help promote, support, and disseminate the research of its members in both individual and collaborative projects to the wider national and international academic community; to create an academic community committed to the highest standards of collegiality and research; and to encourage and serve as a forum for outreach to the non-academic community. 

The Centre’s research is focused on the following areas: Editing theory and practice; transmission and reception of texts; languages and cultures in contact; philology; texts and manuscript culture; gender and identity; kingship, lordship, & society; material culture; historiography; place-making. 

CAMPS Research Labs provide a forum for staff and graduate students from all disciplines involved to come together in order to present work-in-progress and debate research issues. CAMPS Labs to date have taken a two-hour format, typically initiated with a presentation of specific research themes, questions and challenges, leading into informal and often very wide-ranging discussions.

Learning Outcomes

Entry Requirements

Applicants should normally have obtained an honours BA degree (NFQ level 8) in a participating discipline (Archaeology, Classics, History, or  English, French, German or Irish Language & Literature), at the minimum class of Second Class Honours, Grade 1 (or equivalent international qualification; e.g., BA with GPA of 3.3); some applicants might have been awarded an MA in one of those disciplines as well. 

By the time of application, candidates will have identified a research topic and key primary sources for it in discussion with the member(s) of staff whose academic interests are most appropriate and who have agreed to serve as the applicants’ Supervisor(s). No previous knowledge of Latin or any medieval language is required.

Glossary of Terms

Credits
You must earn a defined number of credits (aka ECTS) to complete each year of your course. You do this by taking all of its required modules as well as the correct number of optional modules to obtain that year's total number of credits.
Module
An examinable portion of a subject or course, for which you attend lectures and/or tutorials and carry out assignments. E.g. Algebra and Calculus could be modules within the subject Mathematics. Each module has a unique module code eg. MA140.
Subject
Some courses allow you to choose subjects, where related modules are grouped together. Subjects have their own required number of credits, so you must take all that subject's required modules and may also need to obtain the remainder of the subject's total credits by choosing from its available optional modules.
Optional
A module you may choose to study.
Required
A module that you must study if you choose this course (or subject).
Required Core Subject
A subject you must study because it's integral to that course.
Semester
Most courses have 2 semesters (aka terms) per year, so a three-year course will have six semesters in total. For clarity, this page will refer to the first semester of year 2 as 'Semester 3'.
