The Centre for Renaissance & Early Modern Studies (CREMS) is a flourishing interdisciplinary community devoted to the study of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It provides a forum for more than thirty academic staff and their postgraduates from eight leading departments at York, sharing strong affiliations with the departments of English, History and History of Art.

The Centre offers an annual programme of seminars, conferences and public lectures. It runs its own taught MA in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies and provides a stimulating and supportive environment for students taking postgraduate research degrees within the period.
