This program offers an in-depth exploration of Art History and Italian through research-focused study, enabling students to comprehend how knowledge evolves, progresses, and is revitalized. It fosters independent learning among all participants, cultivating qualities of curiosity, integrity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 60 months, the curriculum culminates in a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules. Students are required to complete 540 credits throughout the program, typically earning 120 credits per academic year. The initial two years generally feature compulsory program-specific modules alongside elective options (which may include cross-faculty courses). Subsequent years provide specialized, research-driven education through tailored modules. The first two years usually incorporate both mandatory program courses and selected electives (potentially from other faculties), while the later years focus on advanced, discipline-specific research learning.
