This program offers an in-depth exploration of Geography and Persian through research-focused study, enabling students to comprehend how knowledge evolves, progresses, and is revitalized. It fosters independent learning among all participants, promoting curiosity, precision, academic integrity, and rigorous scholarship. 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 total—typically 120 per academic year. The initial two years feature compulsory program-specific modules alongside elective options (sometimes including interdisciplinary Faculty selections). Subsequent years focus on advanced, research-driven education through specialized curriculum modules. The first two years combine core program requirements with diverse elective choices (potentially spanning multiple Faculties), while later years emphasize tailored, research-oriented learning.
