This program offers an in-depth exploration of Modern Languages (German and Italian) and International Relations through research-focused studies, enabling students to grasp how knowledge evolves and progresses. It fosters independent learning among students, cultivating qualities like curiosity, precision, and academic rigor. 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 students to complete 540 credits—typically 120 per academic year. The initial two years focus on core program modules alongside elective options (sometimes including interdisciplinary courses). Subsequent years emphasize advanced, research-driven coursework tailored to the program's specialization.
