This program offers advanced, research-focused study of Arabic and Italian, enabling students to explore how knowledge is developed, expanded, and refreshed. It fosters independent learning among all participants, emphasizing curiosity, integrity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 48 months, the course leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring students to complete 480 credits (typically 120 per academic year). The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific modules with elective options (sometimes including cross-faculty courses). The final years focus on specialized, research-driven modules tailored to the program. The first two years blend core program modules with diverse electives (potentially from other faculties), while subsequent years deliver advanced, program-specific research learning.
