Welcome to St Andrews
Welcome to the Postgraduate Prospectus of the University of St Andrews. We are delighted that you are considering joining the growing ranks of our vibrant postgraduate population. Over the following pages we have endeavoured to include the kind of detailed information that will help you to make an informed choice from among the wide range of options open to you. More than 1,000 postgraduates study in one of our four faculties of Arts, Divinity, Medicine and Science, and my colleagues and I very much hope that you will decide to join their number. We believe St Andrews to be a remarkable and exciting institution which combines the cosmopolitanism of an international university with a strong sense of community derived from its location in a small and ancient town. The scale of the University allows us to compete successfully for private and public funding for our path-breaking research while being small enough to provide individual attention to everyone who chooses to study here. We believe we combine the best of the global and the local. We hope you agree.
Louise Richardson, FRSE Principal and Vice-Chancellor
Welcome from the Provost of St Leonard’s College
St Leonard’s College is one of the ancient constituent colleges of the University. It was re-established in 1972 to bring together all postgraduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research staff in the University. As Provost of St Leonard’s and Dean of Graduate Studies, I look forward to
welcoming you to our community. As a member of the College and the University, you will become part of an environment which fosters intellectual endeavour, in which you can conduct your research at the highest level and fulfil your potential. Postgraduate students are an intrinsic part of our thriving research culture. Each of the Schools and Units offers particular strengths and has its
own identity. You will also be part of the University’s diverse and welcoming community. Our GRADskills programme offers a tremendous range of workshops, seminars, online resources and conferences which support your ongoing research and future employability. The University continues to develop dedicated space for postgraduates. It is embarking on an exciting redevelopment of the Library whilst increasing investment in both traditional and online resources. We are determined to keep the needs and aspirations of our postgraduates at the heart of our vision for the University’s future. I look forward to meeting you, whether you come on a Visiting Day, or enter
the College as a new or returning student, and I hope that St Leonard’s will contribute to your successful and enjoyable postgraduate career.
Professor Dina Iordanova
