MPhil in Medieval Studies

Those successfully completing this program will be awarded an M.Phil. in Medieval Studies. Whereas virtually all humanities departments require and fund two years of course work, the Medieval Studies M.Phil. Fellowship allows a student to complete a third year of courses without having to hold a teaching fellowship. It is not necessary for students to complete the six medieval courses in a single year. The Fellowship can be awarded to entering students, who then integrate their Medieval Studies courses with those in their home departments during their three years of course work. It can also be awarded to students who are already enrolled and in their first or second year of graduate work. The normal program for students receiving an M.Phil. Fellowship is therefore six years: in the fourth and fifth year they hold teaching fellowships, and in the sixth year they are eligible for the Dissertation Fellowship.
