Mark (Worked in France)
“My year-long work placement in Lyon, France, was absolutely fantastic. Integrated into the degree, gaining invaluable work experience and getting paid all at the same time, makes for a very enjoyable experience indeed. I worked as a research scientist synthesising, analysing and presenting new products; a real insight into what it would be like to work in Research & Development, which helped me decide on career options after I graduate. Working side by side with French people makes this programme so great – you gain exposure to the language and culture; with no native English speakers at my plant you really had to speak French fluently. My colleagues at work quickly became good friends and, as such, evenings and weekends were never dull, with excursions to Parc Asterix, Paris, Switzerland and camping in the Ardèche, to name a few. Participating in a work placement is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
Europe Several Schools within the University have Erasmus links with other European institutions, offering a variety of programmes, from studying Vikings as part of a Mediaeval History degree in Oslo, to working on a Biology research project in Spain, or pursuing studies in International Relations in France. We currently have around 25 student exchanges with institutions in 11 EU countries. While many of these are for students of Modern Languages, a number of opportunities exist for students in other Schools, and several of our exchange partners offer courses in English as well as the host language. The University currently sends around 35 to 40 students on European exchanges every year.
Outside Europe Several Schools have established exchange or study abroad programmes with partners outside Europe, and as a result there are also opportunities to study in Australia, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, Russia, Syria and Uruguay.
Working Abroad Students on specific degree programmes in Chemistry and Modern Languages may apply to undertake a work placement abroad as an integral part of their degree programme. Students on credit-bearing work placements in the EU may be eligible for the Erasmus programme. For further information on Chemistry industrial placements, please refer to page 99. For further information on working abroad as part of a Modern Languages degree, please refer to pages 166-167.
Incoming Exchange & Study Abroad students The University of St Andrews has a number of exchange opportunities for students from our partner institutions in Europe and the rest of the world to spend either a semester or a full academic year at St Andrews. St Andrews also welcomes a large number of study abroad students each year, particularly from North America, who take advantage of the compatability of our courses and who attend as overseas fee-paying, non-graduating students.

Hannah (Worked in Spain)
“I felt welcome in Barcelona straight away and the first few weeks passed by in a blur of training sessions, meeting colleagues and students, sorting out accommodation and generally settling into a routine. I made sure I accepted every invitation to go out and about and meet new people, building up a great circle of friends and contacts, and getting to know the amazing city which I could call my own! I soon felt settled and comfortable in my new surroundings, although almost every day I learnt something or was confronted by a new experience. All my colleagues at the school were so friendly from day one, and I had excellent professional and personal relationships with them. I had no idea what to expect from the students, but I had a brilliant response from them – every day in the classroom was different, but they made me laugh and their genuine interest in me was really touching! Saying goodbye to all the incredible people I met was really hard. I will definitely be returning. I had one of the best experiences of my life there and will never forget it.”
