Application Procedure
Graduating Programmes Candidates from the United States and Canada who are not applying to any other UK universities and who are liable to pay fees at the Overseas rate (see page 38) may apply directly to the University of St Andrews. Direct application forms may be completed and downloaded from
www.st-andrews.ac.uk/admissions/int/northamericanapplicants Candidates who wish to apply for the Freshman Semester or Year programme should also use this form. All candidates who intend to apply to other UK universities as well as St Andrews must apply through UCAS (
www.ucas.com).
North American candidates wishing to transfer to St Andrews from another university in the United States or Canada must apply by 1 March in the year of entry. Please note that the transfer application form may only be used if the candidate is applying solely to the University of St Andrews. Under no circumstances can it be considered along with a UCAS application. Note: It is not possible to transfer into the Faculty of Science.
Direct Entry into SecondYear For Overseas applicants Direct Entry into Second Year is only possible with Science Degree Programmes. See page 47 and for specific subject requirements, see pages 52-85.

“The moment I laid eyes upon St Andrews I knew where I wanted to study. It felt like home almost immediately and the friends I have made here have only reinforced that feeling. My two flatmates and I all come from different cultural backgrounds and we still surprise each other with our different perspectives, learning new things every day. Coming here was definitely one of the best choices I have ever made!”
