This program offers advanced, research-focused Russian language studies, enabling students to explore how knowledge evolves and progresses. It fosters independent learning among all participants, emphasizing curiosity, precision, academic integrity, and rigorous scholarship. 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 students to complete 540 credits total, typically earning 120 credits annually. The initial two years combine mandatory program-specific courses with elective options (sometimes including interdisciplinary Faculty selections). Subsequent years deliver specialized, research-driven instruction through tailored advanced modules. The first two years blend core program requirements with diverse electives (potentially drawing from other Faculties), while later years focus on specialized, research-oriented coursework designed for the program.
