Collegium for Medieval & Early Modern Studies

The medieval and the early modern periods are among the main areas of research and teaching in the humanities at the University of Würzburg. The different disciplines dealing with the time from 500 B.C. to 1500 B.C. come together in this collegium in order to pool our expertise and intensify research and academic exchange among the disciplines.
