This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (French and Persian) and Latin, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge evolves and advances. It fosters independent scholarship, emphasizing curiosity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 60 months, it culminates in a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring 540 credits total (typically 120 per year). The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (sometimes from other Faculties), while subsequent years deliver specialized, research-focused coursework. The first two years blend core subjects with diverse electives (potentially cross-Faculty), followed by advanced, tailored studies in later years.
