The Medieval and Early Modern Centre is a vibrant and active centre.

Monthly discussions and lectures are held in association with the EMLAC (Early Modern Literature and Culture) cluster and the Sydney node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in the History of Emotions (1100-1800), which similarly hosts a range of international speakers, convenes study days, and holds Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminars (PATS).

The Centre is also the editorial home of the series 'Making the Middle Ages' and 'Medieval Voyaging', published by Brepols.

The University library houses an extensive collection of materials relating to medieval and early modern studies.
