About Medieval History, MPhil - at Trinity College Dublin

The M.Phil programme consists of a combination of coursework, the selection of an area of specialization and the preparation of a dissertation of some 20,000 words. Courses are provided for beginners in palaeography and diplomatic and in Latin and/or other relevant languages, though it is also possible to cater for students who already have some knowledge in these areas.

The classes are small so that personal attention can be given and each student's study plan can be tailored to his/her own needs and interests. All students are allocated a tutor, whom they see on a weekly basis and who will also be the supervisor of their dissertation. A central part of the course is the M.Phil Seminar each week, which contributes greatly to the sense of cohesion and cross fertilization of ideas that is a feature of the M.Phil class.

M.Phil Students are also free to attend the weekly graduate seminar at which M.Litt and Ph.D students read papers, and are accorded the same treatment as other graduate students in the department, with permanent access to the equipment and library in the medieval research centre, where they have always been given a warm welcome. The M.Phil Course is complete in itself leading to the award of a postgraduate degree, but it also provides an opportunity to obtain in a friendly atmosphere, basic training which can then be applied to more advanced graduate work leading to the degrees of M.Litt or Ph.D.
