Description

The description of this course focuses on the defining features of Medieval Europe and places Medieval history firmly within the wider study of History and Ancient history. Learners will explore the rise of feudal systems, the authority of kings, and the symbolic and practical roles of castles in Medieval history. The course examines how crusades shaped political ambition, religious identity, and cultural exchange, linking Medieval history to developments rooted in Ancient history while expanding the broader understanding of History. Throughout the course, Medieval history is examined as both a continuation of Ancient history and a turning point within European History.

Further discussion explores how belief, warfare, and governance interacted to shape Medieval history across regions. Castles are analysed as centres of power, kingship is viewed as a political institution, and crusades are studied as transformative movements within History. By connecting Medieval history with Ancient history, the course explains how traditions, laws, and conflicts evolved, helping learners see History as a continuous process rather than isolated eras. Medieval history is consistently framed as a key chapter in History, deeply influenced by Ancient history and vital for understanding Europe’s past.

This is a self-paced learning platform, meaning you can study at your own pace and convenience. Additionally, each section of the course is divided in a way that allows you to easily pick up where you left off, making it easy to manage your time and progress throughout the course.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
