This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) and Ancient History, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge is developed, expanded, and revitalized. It fosters independent study among all participants, promoting curiosity, precision, academic integrity, and rigorous thinking. Spanning 60 months, the course 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 overall, typically earning 120 credits per academic year. The initial two years feature mandatory program-specific modules alongside elective options (sometimes including interdisciplinary Faculty choices). Subsequent years emphasize specialized, research-oriented coursework tailored to the program. The first two years combine core program modules with selected electives (potentially from other Faculties), while later years focus on advanced, discipline-specific research learning.
