This program offers advanced study in Modern Languages (Persian and Russian) and Latin, focusing on research-driven learning where students explore how knowledge evolves and expands. It fosters independent scholarship characterized by curiosity, precision, and academic rigor. 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 540 credits total, typically 120 per academic year. The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (sometimes including cross-faculty modules). Subsequent years deliver specialized, research-oriented instruction through advanced curriculum modules. The first two years blend core program requirements with diverse elective choices (potentially incorporating courses from other faculties), while later years focus on advanced, discipline-specific research learning.
