This program offers advanced study of Modern Languages (French and Persian) alongside Latin, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge evolves and expands. Participants will develop skills in independent study, maintaining high standards of curiosity, precision, and academic rigor throughout. Spanning 48 months, the course leads to 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 including cross-faculty modules). The final years deliver specialized, research-oriented instruction through tailored curriculum modules. The first two years blend core program requirements with diverse elective choices (potentially incorporating modules from other faculties), while subsequent years focus on advanced research-based learning within the program's specialized framework.
