View of St Andrews from West Sands Welcome to St Andrews

As Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews, I am so pleased that you are exploring joining our university as a postgraduate student. The University of St Andrews welcomes postgraduate students from across the UK and the world, and our University Strategy for 2018-2023 celebrates the strength this diversity creates. We recognise that postgraduates are a very distinctive group of people. If you join us you will be part of a cohort of 1,780 postgraduate students, studying in one of our four Faculties of Arts, Divinity, Medicine, and Science. This prospectus offers you a wealth of information on life as a postgraduate student in St Andrews. You can also read about our Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies which offers a range of taught postgraduate programmes that reach across traditional subject boundaries. Postgraduate students on all our taught programmes must pack a lot of new learning into a short time. We do our utmost to support you with induction events at the start of the academic year, as well as encouragement throughout your time here. Postgraduate research students undertake their project or dissertation and find an ‘academic home’ in a School, which also provides discipline-specific training. This is complemented by a wide range of workshops, seminars, online resources, and conferences which are offered centrally. All postgraduate students are also members of St Leonard’s Doctoral and Postgraduate College, an intellectual and social community which will help you to foster intellectual endeavour, an entrepreneurial spirit and a sense of shared creativity. You will see that St Andrews is a brilliant and inspiring place to study. The University combines the medieval with the modern, the Scottish, the British, and the international.
