Medieval and Renaissance Studies cover the period between c. 600 and 1600, a time during which the transformation of the ancient world laid the foundation for the development of modern Europe. Drawing on historical, cultural and art studies, as well as philological, philosophical, legal-historical and theological approaches, the program is genuinely interdisciplinary.
