This program offers an in-depth exploration of Comparative Literature and Spanish through research-focused study, enabling students to comprehend how knowledge evolves, progresses, and transforms. It fosters independent learning among all participants, emphasizing curiosity, integrity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 48 months, the curriculum culminates in 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 feature core program-specific modules alongside elective options (sometimes including interdisciplinary Faculty selections). The final years focus on advanced, research-driven coursework tailored to the program's specialized curriculum. The first two years combine mandatory program modules with a variety of electives (potentially from other Faculties), while the latter years emphasize specialized, research-oriented study.
