Financing Your Studies Please note that the offer of a University place to undertake research or further study does not carry with it the guarantee of financial support. You will be required to support yourself or apply to a grant-awarding body (please refer to www.st-andrews.ac.uk/pgstudents/money for information on current tuition fees and grants available).


The opportunity to work as teaching assistants on first and second year undergraduate courses may also be available to postgraduates on the MPhil and PhD programmes, but cannot be guaranteed for all who apply. Stipends attached to these appointments provide a useful source of support for postgraduate students in their second and third years.


St Andrews has various scholarship opportunities for prospective St Andrews postgraduate students. Our ‘Recent Graduate Discount’ is designed to recognise the loyalty of current St Andrews students and very recent St Andrews alumni when they apply for postgraduate courses here. Details of all our scholarship opportunities and initiatives can be found on our web pages. www.st-andrews.ac.uk/scholarships


Admission Requirements and Application Process If you are planning to enter at MLitt level you should normally have at least a strong 2.1 or equivalent (e.g. GPA of 3.6 or better on a 4 point scale) in your first degree. You are required to submit two academic references, an academic transcript and a sample of academic written work with your application and, for research degrees, a research proposal. Applications are not considered until they are complete. Competition for places is intense and you are encouraged to submit your applications as early as possible. The programme you wish to study should be clearly indicated.


You are expected to be proficient in English, both spoken and written. If your first language is not English, you will be required to sit an appropriate test, and achieve the British Council’s English Language Test to level 7.0, or a TOEFL score of 600 or better. See www.st-andrews.ac.uk/elt/entry


Further information and an online application form can be found on the Postgraduate Admissions web pages (contact details on the back of this leaflet).
