This program offers advanced study of German and Spanish, including an Integrated Year Abroad, with a research-focused approach that explores how knowledge evolves and advances. Students will develop skills in independent learning, characterized by curiosity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 60 months, it leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring 540 credits total (typically 120 per academic year). The initial two years combine program-specific core modules with optional courses (sometimes from other Faculties), while subsequent years focus on specialized, research-driven coursework. The first two years blend mandatory program modules with elective choices (potentially from other departments), followed by advanced, discipline-specific research modules in later years.
