Application Process


Taught Programmes We recommend that you read our user notes before you start your application. We have an online application formwhich is used for all applications for the taughtMasters degrees (MLitt, MSc,MRes)we offer. Theweb address is in the box on the opposite page. All documents can be submitted electronically and this enables our staff to process applications in the shortest time possible.


Research Programmes Research applications are still to be completed using paper application forms available through theweb address opposite.


When to Apply You do not need to have finished your current degree before applying to us for a place on one of our postgraduate programmes. For example, it is quite normal for a final year undergraduate student to apply to us in February, graduate fromtheir current degree in the summer and then start their newcoursewith us in September. It is in circumstances such as these thatwe oftenmake a ‘conditional’ offer, that is, an offer based on the expected outcome of a student’s undergraduate degree.


Applications to study for one of our postgraduate coursesmay be lodged, inmost cases, throughout the year and up to one year in advance. However, several academic Schools do have specific deadlines, and you should check the Schoolweb pages for exact guidance. www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects Our taught Masters degrees begin in September each year.
