The University of St Andrews is a world leading institution for Higher Education, ranked 1st in the UK in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide (2022). Nestled on the east coast of Scotland, the small, vibrant town of St Andrews is a unique place to study and live. Wherever you walk you are reminded of its rich and colourful history with buildings both ancient and modern – from the atmospheric ruins of the cathedral and castle to the university’s modern teaching spaces. As well as a bustling centre with cafés, restaurants, and shops, the town is full of natural beauty with green spaces and three beaches.

The degree programmes available are comprehensive and designed to boost your transferable skills and increase your employability.

Recent graduates have gone onto a wide variety of careers around the world: from technology to business, government to NGOs, finance and consultancy, journalism or activism, and everything in between. Where will your postgraduate degree take you?
