Centre for Medieval Studies
The University of Exeter has a long and distinguished tradition in the field of Medieval Studies. The Centre for Medieval Studies was established in order to encourage regular academic contact between medievalists in the University and elsewhere, to promote interdisciplinary approaches to the medieval period and to act as a forum for postgraduate teaching and research.

Exeter medievalists' expertise extends from the early Middle Ages to the Reformation, and from Britain to Iberia, exploring a wide variety of themes: kingship, governance and law; church, liturgy, popular religion and magic, books, book production and intellectual life, settlement and the built environment.
