This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) and Greek, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge evolves and expands. It fosters independent scholarship characterized by curiosity, precision, academic rigor, and ethical standards. Spanning 60 months, the curriculum leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules requiring 540 credits total, typically 120 per academic year. The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (potentially including cross-faculty modules). Subsequent years deliver specialized, research-oriented instruction through advanced program-focused modules. The first two years blend core disciplinary requirements with diverse electives (sometimes from other faculties), while later years concentrate on advanced, curriculum-specific research learning.
