This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (Arabic and French) and English, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge evolves and advances. It fosters independent study with an emphasis on curiosity, precision, and academic excellence. 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 mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (sometimes from other Faculties), while subsequent years focus on specialized, research-oriented modules tailored to the program. The first two years blend core subjects with diverse electives (potentially from other departments), followed by advanced, program-focused research modules in later years.
