• This is a 12-month program of study leading to the degree of Master of Research. As with all St Andrews programs, it is made up of credit-bearing modules.
  • Students must earn 180 credits over the duration of the program, with 120 credits normally earned each academic year. Typically, the first two years of study include core modules specific to the program as well as other modules are chosen from a range of options (in some cases, including modules from a different Faculty).
  • The remaining years offer advanced research-led learning through modules that provide a program-specific curriculum.
  • These requirements describe the detailed structure of the course and link to the contents of all the modules that can be included in the program. Teaching, learning, and assessment are progressive, with both the content and methods of delivery changing to suit the increasing level of complexity in the material and independence of students, as they work through the program.
