Course summary
A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you have a clear idea of the independent research you wish to undertake at Masters level. Home of the cross-disciplinary Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, the University of Edinburgh has one of the largest communities of medieval and Renaissance specialists in the world: upwards of 70 researchers across the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Join our community and undertake a 15,000 word dissertation under the guidance of an experienced and well-published supervisor. Our research interests are wide-ranging and global, and include history, languages and literatures, history of art and architecture, music, divinity, archaeology, law, Celtic and Scottish Studies, and Islamic, European, and Asian Studies.
In addition to your dissertation, you will also research and write two 6,000-word essays on related subjects of interest, enabling you to develop a broader basis of knowledge in your chosen discipline. These essays will be guided by your supervisor.
Training and supportThis programme includes training in palaeography and codicology, theoretical approaches to medieval society and culture, research skills and methods, and sources of medieval history.
Between the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC), partner Schools in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Careers Service and the Institute for Academic Development, you’ll find a further range of programmes and resources to help you develop your postgraduate skills. You will also have access to the University’s fantastic libraries, collections and worldwide strategic partnerships.
As part of our research community, you will be immersed in a world of knowledge exchange, with lots of opportunities to share ideas and learning. Activities range from the annual Denys Hay Lecture, the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies seminar series, and regular performances of Renaissance music, to the student-led Late Antiquity and Medieval Postgraduate seminar series (LAMPS) and Edinburgh Early Modern Network talks. Many of our events are organised in conjunction with colleagues at museums, galleries, libraries and archives in Edinburgh.
