Study Abroad – An International Students Guide to Universities, Language Courses, Business and International Schools. We are a website for students looking to gain an education abroad.
2. Welcome to the University of St Andrews. Whether you are a
student, a staff member, a town resident, or a visitor I am
delighted to invite you to explore this remarkable University. A
community of scholars and students with a shared commitment to
the power of education has gathered here for centuries to advance
knowledge, to explore fundamental questions and above all to
exchange ideas.
We are currently celebrating our 600th anniversary, and I feel
enormously privileged to be leading this academic community
into its seventh century of intellectual exploration. This is an
exciting and important time, and as we draw inspiration from past
achievements and successes, we are also embracing new
challenges and realizing new opportunities.
3. Our continued success is dependent on the contributions of every
member of this community, and one of the most powerful assets that
we have here at St Andrews is a shared commitment to the pursuit of
excellence in our teaching and our research, and a deeply-held belief in
the transformative capacity of education. In today’s demanding
economic environment, the role of universities in training the next
generation and equipping them with the mindset and the skills
necessary to navigate the changing times is central to our collective
success.
Defined by our history, our location and our size, the University of St
Andrews is an institution where tradition sits side by side with modern
technology and an outward-looking approach to engagement with the
key issues facing the world today. It is a place where the intellectual
and personal potential of every member of our international
community of students and academics is fostered and encouraged at
every turn.
4. University of St. Andrews is ranked among the top universities in
Studying Away which is an online resource for those wishing to study
abroad or at a distance.
I invite you to discover more about our unique institution and the people
who study and work here by exploring this site, or by visiting St Andrews
