Our facilities
We’re based in the spectacular Heslington Hall, a hub for interdisciplinary teaching and research, and a venue for our lively events programme. Our students benefit from extensive on-campus libraries and archives, alongside vast collections in the city.
York is steeped in history and heritage. Its many surviving medieval sites and the huge range of museums, galleries and organisations offer our students the chance enrich their experience.
York Medieval Press
We are home to the Boydell and Brewer imprint, York Medieval Press. York Medieval Press promotes innovative scholarship and publishes monographs, editions and collections of essays in all fields relating to the study of the Middle Ages.
Inclusivity in teaching and research
Creating an inclusive environment for students of all backgrounds is vital to our mission. Our teaching and research directly engages with questions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class in the Middle Ages - challenging modern preconceptions and uncovering the true complexity of past societies identities.
