International opportunities

Herstmonceux Castle

Each summer, the Medieval Studies program sends undergraduate students to live and study at Herstmonceux Castle, in beautiful East Sussex, England. There, our students have the opportunity to participate in the Bader International Study Centre’s Summer Field School in British Archaeology. Students earn uWaterloo credits in Roman and Medieval Archaeology and work on a real archaeological excavation.

Read the testimonials from uWaterloo and St. Jerome's University students who have participated in the Herstmonceux program.

In May 2013, two of Dr. Steven Bednarski’s graduate students received funding to travel to England and conduct primary archival research on the castle for their MA theses.
