This program offers an in-depth exploration of Comparative Literature alongside Russian and Spanish, focusing on advanced, research-driven learning where students discover how knowledge evolves and expands. It fosters independent study with an emphasis on curiosity, precision, and academic excellence. Spanning 48 months, the course 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 year). The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options, sometimes from other faculties. The final years emphasize specialized, research-oriented study through tailored modules. The first two years blend core subjects with optional choices (potentially including interdisciplinary courses), while the latter stages focus on advanced, program-specific research learning.
