This program offers an advanced exploration of Philosophy and Psychology (accredited by the British Psychological Society), focusing on research-driven learning about how knowledge develops and evolves. Students will cultivate skills in independent study, characterized by curiosity, precision, and academic rigor. Spanning 48 months, it leads to a Master of Arts (Honours) degree. Like all St Andrews programs, it consists of credit-based modules, requiring 480 credits total (typically 120 per year). The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (sometimes from other Faculties), while later years emphasize specialized, research-oriented coursework. The first two years blend core subjects with diverse electives (potentially from other departments), followed by advanced, discipline-focused studies in subsequent years.
