This program offers an in-depth exploration of Modern Languages (Italian and Russian) and International Relations through research-focused studies, where students will learn how knowledge evolves and advances. It fosters independent learning among all participants, promoting curiosity, precision, and academic excellence. Spanning 48 months, the course culminates in a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring students to complete 480 credits—typically 120 per academic year. The initial two years focus on core program-specific modules alongside elective options (sometimes including interdisciplinary courses). The final years emphasize advanced, research-driven study through specialized curriculum modules. The first two years combine mandatory subjects with a selection of electives (potentially from other faculties), while the later stages concentrate on tailored, research-oriented coursework.
