Medical School Facilities A new £45M Medical School opened to welcome new students in September 2010. It is one of the first UK Medical Schools to have research facilities fully integrated with key university disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology and psychology, offering an important new dimension to medical research and the training of new doctors.


Students entering Medicine have the unique opportunity to graduate after three years at St Andrews with a BSc Honours degree in Medicine before moving on to one of our Partner Medical Schools to complete their training as doctors and to graduate with an MB ChB. At St Andrews, we are particularly proud that in a recent national student survey, the School of Medicine came top in the UK for student satisfaction, judged on course quality, staff and teaching facilities. We believe we offer:


• An excellent scientific foundation for clinical practice. • A highly supportive educational environment. • A brand new purpose-built Medical School offering outstanding facilities for teaching and learning.


Programme Structure Our medical degree programme is six years long; students graduating (BSc Hons Medicine) from St Andrews will progress to either Manchester Medical School or one of our Partner Medical Schools in Scotland (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh,

Programme of Study We use a wide range of teaching and assessment methods, including lectures, laboratory based practicals, small group tutorials and computer based resources. Audio visual technology is fully utilised, including a ‘state of the art’ video capture system which can be used for training and feedback purposes in any of the teaching environments.


St Andrews offers an integrated curriculum within a strong clinical context. In addition to exploring the foundations of medical science, it encourages the development of the professional attitudes, ethical understanding and decision- making skills required by ‘Tomorrow’s Doctors’. The curriculum addresses the following core principles: Competence – understanding of the scientific basis of medicine; Professionalism – development of clinical skills, personal values and ethical awareness; Reflection – monitoring self- awareness and decision-making through the completion of a portfolio and Independence – encouragement of self-directed learning.
