This program offers advanced research-focused study of Italian and Latin, enabling students to explore how knowledge is developed, expanded, and refreshed. It fosters independent learning among all participants, promoting curiosity, precision, academic integrity, and rigorous scholarship. The 60-month curriculum leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree and follows St Andrews' credit-based structure, requiring 540 credits total with 120 typically completed annually. The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (potentially including cross-faculty modules). Subsequent years deliver specialized, research-driven instruction through tailored coursework. The first two years blend core program requirements with diverse elective choices (sometimes incorporating modules from other faculties), while later years focus on advanced, discipline-specific research learning.
