Medieval & Early Modern Studies (Program Major)

Medieval and Early Modern Studies explores the formative period of European history, from the end of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance. Students will take a broad approach to this pre-modern world, studying its literature, art, languages, history, music and culture.

Medieval and Early Modern Studies is the only program in Manitoba with an intensive study of the pre-modern European world. This was a time of human drama, full of change and growth and a struggle to regain a civilized way of life.

Students can build an individualized program drawing on the strengths offered across many departments and faculties. The University of Manitoba's emphasis on language acquisition (both modern and classical languages) offers a challenging academic program for undergraduate students.

Graduates with related experience have gone on to pursue careers including:
