Every semester
Medieval studies seminar series
A multidisciplinary series of medieval studies seminars is aimed specifically at students within the Centre of Medieval Studies (ZEMAS). Each session is designed by teaching staff from a different sub-discipline of medieval studies and focuses on the subject matter and approaches of that sub-discipline; the programme as a whole intends to give students an impression of the diverse aspects one topic can have.
Further courses
Various other courses that are also relevant for ZEMAS students are also offered every semester. These include topics like medieval languages or career information events, which are often offered as block seminars. ZEMAS also organises conferences and colloquia in cooperation with its members.
Winter semester
Mediävistisches Oberseminar (advanced seminar)
The Mediävistische Oberseminar is an advanced seminar series on medieval studies that is intended to be an interdisciplinary information and discussion forum for all individuals interested in medieval studies. It aims to provide an insight into current thematic and methodological discussions, particularly for students and graduates who focus on subjects within the disciplines of medieval studies. Alongside numerous external scholars, talks are given by colleagues from Bamberg, graduates and early career researchers who present their theses on pertinent topics.
Summer semester
Ringvorlesung (lecture series)
