“There are ten Schools in the Faculty of Arts, and among them are some of the best in the country. They are ranked very highly for their excellence in teaching and research, and so reading for a degree in the Arts means that you will be taught by many world-leading scholars. With our emphasis on research-led teaching, you will learn about the results of pioneering research carried out in St Andrews. The Faculty’s Schools are located in fine buildings at the heart of historic St Andrews, and they provide attractive centres for the intellectual and social life of their respective academic communities.”
