This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) and International Relations, 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 48 months, it culminates in a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring 480 credits total—typically 120 per academic year. The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (sometimes from other Faculties), while later years focus on specialized, research-oriented coursework. The first two years blend core subjects with diverse electives (potentially from other departments), followed by advanced, discipline-focused studies in subsequent years.
