  • Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20
    Residential and Business Services Friday, 20 December 2019 Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20 John Burnet Hall Introduction: This report is based on the responses collected from the November 2019 Student Accommodation Survey. In analysing the results, the ‘not applicable’ responses were removed to provide an accurate breakdown of responses. To ensure easy analysis of information in the bar and pie charts, the very satisfied and satisfied responses have been combined to represent overall satisfaction. Likewise, the dissatisfied and strongly dissatisfied responses have been combined to represent overall dissatisfaction. The individual breakdown of responses has been preserved in the separate survey reports. Average results have been calculated for each category and are presented alongside the individual responses to the category questions for ease of reference. The survey results showed a notable difference in International student satisfaction compared to Home/EU student satisfaction, therefore the overall satisfaction and catering satisfaction categories are broken down further and also presented by Home/EU and International satisfaction. Demographic Breakdown: Total respondents: 1517 Male: 554 (36.5%) Female: 948 (62.5%) Non-binary: 15 (1%) Other: 0 (0%) Average age: 19.9 Undergraduate: 1267 (83.5%) Postgraduate: 250 (16.5%) Home/EU: 964 (63.5%) International: 553 (36.5%) Self-catered: 630 (41.5%) Catered: 887 (58.5%) Year of Study: 1st: 817 (54%) 2nd: 275 (18%) 3rd: 175 (11.5%) 4th: 93 (6%) Postgraduate: 157 (10.5%) 1 Residential

  • How Long Should a Dive Last? a Simple Model of Foraging Decisions by Breath-Hold Divers in a Patchy Environment
    ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 2001, 61, 287–296 doi:10.1006/anbe.2000.1539, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on ARTICLES How long should a dive last? A simple model of foraging decisions by breath-hold divers in a patchy environment D. THOMPSON & M. A. FEDAK NERC Sea Mammal Research Unit, Gatty Marine Laboratory, University of St Andrews (Received 6 October 1999; initial acceptance 29 November 1999; final acceptance 15 July 2000; MS. number: 6374R) Although diving birds and mammals can withstand extended periods under water, field studies show that most perform mainly short, aerobic dives. Theoretical studies of diving have implicitly assumed that prey acquisition increases linearly with time spent searching and have examined strategies that maximize time spent foraging. We present a simple model of diving in seals, where dive durations are influenced by the seal’s assessment of patch quality, but are ultimately constrained by oxygen balance. Prey encounters within a dive are assumed to be Poisson distributed and the scale of the patches is such that a predator will encounter a constant prey density during a dive. We investigated the effects of a simple giving-up rule, using recent prey encounter rate to assess patch quality. The model predicts that, for shallow dives, there should always be a net benefit from terminating dives early if no prey are encountered early in the dive. The magnitude of the benefit was highest at low patch densities. The relative gain depended on the magnitude of the travel time and the time taken to assess patch quality and the effect was reduced in deeper dives.

  • University of St Andrews Outcome Agreement 2017-18
    University of St Andrews Outcome Agreement – 2017/18 1. Introduction 1.1. St Andrews is Scotland’s first university. It has been central to the growth of scholarship and learning in Scotland since the Middle Ages. Now one of Europe’s most research-intensive universities, it projects a uniquely Scottish brand of research-led teaching. Our fundamental goal is to attract the best academics and the best students from around the world to Scotland, and to secure the resources to create an environment in which they can produce their best work for maximum societal benefit. We are the most ancient of the Scottish universities, but among the most innovative in our approach to teaching, research and the pursuit of knowledge for the common good. We are proud to be a net contributor to civic Scotland, and are successful internationally because we are Scottish, and European. 1.2. We are committed to improving our competitive position and reputation in all areas of research internationally. We already rank among the top 100 in the world in the Arts and Humanities1, Social Sciences2 and in the Sciences34, an unusual achievement for an institution of our size and resources. Our research, 82% of which has been judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent, drives innovation, insight, and development in myriad ways across the world. 1.3. Our commitment to teaching quality driven by research-led enquiry is a hallmark of the St Andrews experience. We are the UK University of the year for Teaching Quality in The Times and Sunday Times University Guide 2017 and for over a decade, we have been the only Scottish university to feature consistently among the UK top ten in the leading independent league tables.

  • University of St Andrews Carbon Management Plan Cmp 2011
    UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS CARBON MANAGEMENT PLAN CMP 2011 - 2016 Date: Nov 2012 Version number: v0.3 Owner: Roddy Yarr Approval route: Sustainability Policy Group Next revision due: Feb 2013 Original document June 2011 Revision v0.2 Feb 2012 Typographical updates Revision v0.3 Nov 2012 Clarification of utilities management target i Foreword from Principal This Plan for carbon management over the next 5 years represents a commitment from the University to make improvements across a range of key areas. The plan is aligned to the University’s Strategic Plan and supports the existing Sustainable Development Policy and Strategy which recognises the need to reduce carbon emissions in order to become more sustainable. Since the University started to understand its ‘carbon footprint’, there has been a significant increase in the awareness of staff and students. By working together, the analysis and identification of ways by which this ‘footprint’ can and will be reduced will enable the University to continue to provide exceptional teaching and research in ever more sustainable ways. Changing the way we do things won’t happen overnight. To achieve these changes will take time, and effective communication and engagement is key. As an institution that is renowned worldwide for excellence in teaching and research, the University also aims to be at the forefront in demonstrating working practices that integrate environmental, social and economic issues. Achieving sustainable development rests with us all. Each of us has a contribution to make, and the consequence will be a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment for everyone in St Andrews. I commend this plan and its aims and objectives to you and encourage you to become involved in this exciting endeavour.
