Medieval research at the University of Bergen

The Medieval studies at UiB can be traced back to the founding of the Bergen Museum in 1825.

Hovedinnhold

There is great diversity at UiB in Medieval studies: archaeologists, literary scholars, historians, legal studies, linguists, art historians and many more.
