Through history you'll examine topics such as the transition from ancient states and societies to medieval ones, the transformation of medieval Britain via invasion and Christianisation, and the Crusades. Study of medieval literature, including Beowulf and Chaucer, will enrich your understanding of medieval culture. You have the option of studying languages, such as Latin or Spanish.
