Do you want to discover the history and culture of the great pre-modern civilisations? Our research Master’s programme in Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Studies focuses on the interdisciplinary study of material, social, and intellectual developments in Europe from Antiquity through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Flexible course offerings
The flexibility of our Master in Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies sets it apart from other Master’s programmes in the field. If Utrecht University does not offer the course you require, you can take a similar course at a different institution. With your tutor, you determine which courses are best-suited to the research you wish to undertake at the end of the two-year programme.
Why this programme in Utrecht?
International community
The programme attracts students from the Netherlands and abroad. International students find an internationally unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of pre-modern civilisations. They quickly feel welcome in the community of teachers and students and fully participate in the programme’s scholarly life.
Close-knit community
Because the number of students in each track is limited, our students form close-knit communities. You will also mingle with lecturers and researchers during regular lectures and seminars. The Utrecht Centre for Medieval Studies is particularly active. In addition, national research schools invite students to events of interest in their chosen field of studies.
The programme really prepares you for a career in academia. You are trained to think critically, explore new ideas yourself and to reflect on academic relevance.
