This program offers advanced study of French, Persian, and Spanish through research-focused coursework, enabling students to explore how knowledge evolves and advances. It fosters independent learning with an emphasis on curiosity, integrity, precision, and academic rigor. The 48-month curriculum leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree and follows St Andrews' credit-based structure, requiring 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 focus on specialized, research-driven modules tailored to the program. The first two years blend core subjects with diverse electives (potentially from other faculties), while the later years emphasize advanced, discipline-specific research learning.
