Welcome to the second Crusades and Knights Hospitallers in the Aegean: History and Archaeology Summer School
15 June-25 June 2026
University of the Aegean, Rhodes, Greece

Registration is now open! Go to the 'Application Form' tab on this website.

The main aim of the course is to prepare undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about the history of the Knights Hospitaller with a view to further study. A secondary aim is to inform students at universities that do not offer courses in the crusades or military orders. It is especially relevant for students who are pursuing or wish to pursue research on the Hospitallers at postgraduate or doctorate level. However, those with a general interest in the subject are also welcome to apply. The course is held over nine days and is comprised of lectures, seminars, presentations, research walks and excursions. The content covers the Hospitallers’ origins, history on Rhodes and first years on Malta and is delivered in situ in order to better understand their past using both history and archaeology.
