The MA (Hons) in Greek is a four-year program offered by the School of Classics. Beginners will start with introductory Greek language and literature courses in their first year, while those with prior experience will engage in advanced language and literary studies that combine text analysis with translation practice. This degree involves high-level exploration of both English and Greek through research-focused learning, fostering skills in knowledge creation and critical thinking. Students will develop independent study habits characterized by curiosity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 48 months, this Master of Arts (Honours) program follows St Andrews' credit-based system, requiring 480 credits total (typically 120 per year). The initial two years combine core program requirements with elective options (sometimes including cross-faculty courses), while later years focus on specialized, research-driven curriculum.
