该计划将在研究主导的高级水平上进行化学和物理研究，学生将了解如何知识的创造，发展和更新。该计划将鼓励所有学生以好奇心，正直，准确和严谨的态度追求独立学习的愿望。这是一个为期60个月的学习计划，可授予理学硕士学位（荣誉学位）。与所有圣安德鲁斯计划一样，该计划由承担信用的模块组成。在课程期间，学生必须获得600个学分，通常每个学年获得120个学分。通常，前两年的学习包括特定于该计划的核心模块以及从一系列选项中选择的其他模块（在某些情况下，包括来自不同学院的模块）。剩余的几年中，通过模块提供针对特定课程的课程，
This programme will involve study of Chemistry and Physics at an advanced, research-led level in which students will gain an understanding of how knowledge is created, advanced and renewed. The programme will encourage in all students a desire to pursue independent learning with curiosity, integrity, accuracy and intellectual rigour. This is a 60-month programme of study leading to the degree of Master in Science (Honours). As with all St Andrews programmes, it is made up of credit bearing modules. Students must earn 600 credits over the duration of the programme, with 120 credits normally earned each academic year. Typically, the first two years of study include core modules specific to the programme as well as other modules 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 programme-specific curriculum.
