Field School

There is no Field School planned for 2026-27.

Our field school satisfies part of the Humanities Global Language and Culture (GLC) Requirement.

The prerequisite for the course is upper-year standing and permission of the director. Prospective students will need to fill out an application form and sit for an interview. If accepted into the course, you must pay a deposit in the fall term.

Field School (MEDI 495)

In previous years, the UVic Medieval Studies Program has taken students to Montpellier (2009), Ely (2013), and Aix-en-Provence (2014). Wherever we go next, the field study will get you out of the classroom and provide an exciting experiential learning opportunity. It will introduce you to medieval worlds through architecture, art, religion, philosophy and history, in varying locations. What’s more, our field school will earn you 3.0 units towards the new Humanities Global Language and Culture (GLC) Requirement.

Please check back for updates. 

The course is not offered every year and interested students should contact the Medieval Studies Program during fall term for more information.
