“St Mary’s College is a world-class academic institution with the camaraderie and support that goes with a small and close-knit community – one with a strongly international flavour! Located in the heart of the picturesque mediaeval burgh of St Andrews, our historic buildings house a library, lecture and seminar rooms, and social facilities. Our programmes in theology and biblical studies (with joint degrees possible with many other subjects) consistently rate in the top five in UK league tables and our National Student Survey ratings show an unrivalled level of student satisfaction. I encourage you to contact us with any queries and to visit us to see why St Andrews is Scotland’s First University.”
Professor Ivor Davidson (Dean of Divinity) Faculty of Divinity
