This course is an exciting programme that brings together specialist Medievalists in the disciplines of history and literature. Areas of particular expertise include gender, warfare, aristocratic culture and frontiers and borderlands. Students have the opportunity to become familiar with the medieval heritage of South Wales and the surrounding region, through work with the West Glamorgan Record Office and the library of Hereford Cathedral and through contact with the organisations that are responsible for the preservation of Welsh historical sites, Cadw and the Royal Commission for the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
