Ball culture – dress up in your finest attire whether it be sparkling dresses, tuxedos or the infamous kilt, then grace the dance floor with your partner at a luxurious venue swinging each other to fast-paced traditional Scottish ceilidh music!


University tradition – throughout the year you are actively encouraged to take part in the centuries- old University traditions, including: the renowned networking tradition of Academic Family, dressing up for Raisin Monday, and taking the plunge during the May Dip.


Socialising – St Andrews is a mediaeval town with a very modern cosmopolitan vibe pulsating throughout. Choose to hang out in one of the many coffee shops or restaurants before taking in some live music at one of the numerous trendy bars.

Year 3:


At St Andrews we offer a four-year Honours degree pathway as standard which is different from the English system. We have four faculties Arts, Divinity, Medicine and Science. Students choose the faculty in which they want to study based upon their qualifications and interests. Please note, in the Faculty of Arts the degree is called a Master of Arts (MA) which is equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts (BA).


Crucially students are admitted to a faculty and not to a specific degree programme. This provides breadth and flexibility as students can drop and pick up subjects over their first two years, allowing them to settle on their chosen degree path at the end of Year 2. Students in all faculties (except Medicine) will generally begin by taking three subjects in Year 1.
