Arts Building Postgraduate Study and Research


• The University Library provides extensive collections for use in historical study, including an outstanding Special Collections facility, and continues to make substantial investment in materials, including electronic resources, each year.


• Computer facilities are also readily available within workspaces and University clusters. • A scheme of competitive scholarships and bursaries is in place to support selected postgraduates financially.


• All History postgraduates at St Andrews receive financial assistance annually from the School of History specifically to subsidise research expenses.


• Postgraduate students can apply for material support for the organisation of conferences and seminars; this has led in the past to successful events and subsequent publication.


• Many PhD students are given the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses under the supervision and guidance of a course co-ordinator.


• Social events run throughout the year including the Welcome Reception, a Christmas Party and a Champagne Brunch at graduation. Students may also attend annual Reading Parties and enjoy the opportunity to meet visiting speakers over dinner after seminars.
