It is accordingly in the main historical. In Part I the story is told of the beginning of the University and of its Colleges. Here it will be seen that the University was the work in the first instance of Churchmen unselfishly devoted to the improvement of their country, and manifesting by their acts that deep interest in education which long, before John Knox was born, lay in the heart of Scotland.

  • University of St Andrews for Science & Pre-Med Students
    University of St Andrews for Science & Pre-Med Students About the Program This partnership with the University of St Andrews is specifically designed for students in the sciences and/or pre-health students. Students may enroll in the fall term in Organic Chemistry I under supervision from UR faculty, which receives credit and a grade on the Richmond transcript. Additionally, students may opt to take biology coursework (for credit only) that is equivalent to BIOL 200 at Richmond and/or a special pre-medical seminar offered by a member of the St Andrews Medical Faculty that includes site visits to area hospitals and clinics. A broad range of St Andrews courses in the Faculties of Arts, Divinity and Science are also available. Founded in 1413, St Andrews is Scotland’s oldest university. It has been ranked #1 in student satisfaction in the U.K. for the past 5 years. Out of 6,000 undergraduates, one-third are international, from 120+ countries.

  • SAINTS RUGBY PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME to Become a World-Renowned Rugby Programme That Encourages All Members to Be the Best They Can Be
    saints sport SAINTS RUGBY PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME To become a world-renowned rugby programme that encourages all members to be the best they can be. This vision focuses on creating the very best environment and upmost enjoyment for our club members. We aim to constantly improve our rugby programme and grow our links internationally. We also aim to work closely with the local community, to integrate with university departments and to host the very best events in the social calendar possible. The University of St Andrews has developed the most advanced rugby programme in Scotland, which offers student athletes a range of coaching, training and support opportunities, allowing them to excel in both their academic and sporting achievements. We want to ensure that the club is developing both on and off the field through setting strategic targets to evolve our club and provide the very best experience for our club members during their time in St Andrews. This vision is going to push our club members to be the best they possibly can be and make our club one of OUR the premier destinations for aspiring student athletes globally. VISION 2 3 Founded in 1858, the University of St Andrews Rugby Football Club is one of the oldest sports clubs at the University and is the sixth oldest rugby club in the world. The club is a founder member of the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) and has been an integral part of the University for 160 years. In 1871 in the first international between Scotland and England at Raeburn Place, three St Andrews students, A Clunies-Ross, R Munro and J S Thomson represented Scotland, showing the importance of the club at that time.
