Part-time Degree Study Most University of St Andrews students are working towards a degree by full-time daytime study. However, an increasingly large number of students are now studying part-time, either during the daytime or in the evenings. Some students start their degree programmes by studying part-time, and then later apply to become full-time students. Other students start as full-time students, and then move to part-time study because this better fits their personal circumstances.
If you need to combine study with employment or caring responsibilities, a number of part-time routes are available for you to gain a degree. Or you might just wish to study one or two chosen subjects or to study for one or two years – in which case we can offer you pathways towards a Certificate or Diploma in Higher Education.
If you are available during the day and have the required level of recent qualifications, you can take one or two modules per semester (40 or 80 credits a year) and attend the same classes as full-time BSc (Science) or MA (Arts, Divinity) students. You might want to study towards an Honours degree in a named subject or take the broader-based MA General Degree.
Help and guidance in arranging a suitable timetable are readily available by going to the following web page or contacting the relevant person through the appropriate email address.

If you are only available in the evenings we have a part-time Evening Degree programme which leads to an MA or BSc General Degree after three or more years, depending on your preferred pace of study and any prior qualifications for which we can give credit. The Evening Degree is particularly suitable for those who have been away from study for some time.

Application for Part-time Study Application for part-time study is not via the UCAS system, but is made directly on our own University of St Andrews Part-time application form which can be found on the University website.
www.st-andrews.ac.uk/part-timedaystudy
An interview will be held for all suitable applicants and will be part of the decision process.

The General Degree A General Degree of MA (Master of Arts) or BSc (Bachelor of Science) typically extends over three years of full-time study (120 credits per year) or up to six years part-time study (up to 80 credits per year). A General Degree allows students to study a number of different subjects without having to specialise in any particular one. It does not provide the same depth or level of specialism as an Honours programme. If these considerations are important to you, a named Honours Programme would probably be a more appropriate route.
Students who initially register for a General Degree on occasions go on to apply for a named Honours degree programme at the end of their second year, if they meet the requirements of the academic School(s) involved.
It should be noted that the General Degree is not open to applications from school leavers and is for those prospective students coming through alternative routes such as access courses or returning to study after a sustained period of time out of education. The application process for full time study of the General Degree is through UCAS and all suitable applicants will be asked for an interview as part of the decision process.
“The part-time degree is a great opportunity since I can do it in the evenings and choose how many subjects I study – i.e. work at a pace that fits in with the rest of my life. Initially, I was very worried whether I would be able to cope but the staff were really helpful and encouraging.”
