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 students to complete 540 credits (typically 120 per year). The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options, sometimes from other faculties. The final years deliver specialized, research-oriented coursework tailored to the program.
