We have a centuries-old tradition of bringing the brightest minds around the world to share their ideas. In St Andrews, curious students can meet the best scholars and teachers from around the world. Crucially, they can find the thinking space to question what they are taught. Our teaching is supported by the flexible nature of the Scottish system. This allows you to choose to study multiple subjects during the course of your degree. St Andrews has welcomed pilgrims for centuries, and as a result, the hospitality of local people is instinctive and ingrained.
Many film stars, celebrities and politicians visit the town each year. One of the attractions of St Andrews is that every visitor is afforded an equal welcome. Golfing in St Andrews is the ultimate ambition of many golfers.

The town is usually considered home to around 16, people. This is made up of the local community, University students and staff, and visitors. This gives the town an intimate feel with close proximity to all University facilities, buildings and halls of residences.
Another benefit of St Andrews is the number of events which occur each semester. From academic talks and conferences to University events, there's always something going on. Student events are also hugely popular.
Music events range from the student-run Starfields music festival through to a range of a cappella concerts, orchestras and choirs. Fans of theatre and the arts will enjoy On The Rocks , Scotland's largest student-run arts festival. The town's Byre Theatre hosts a varied and vibrant programme of University performances, events and activities, as well as conferences, exhibitions, social and engagement activities.

Support is available from your academic School, in halls of residence and through the University's Student Services team. All first-year undergraduate students are guaranteed a place in a University hall in their first year. Students often credit their halls as the place that they find their friendship group for the rest of their degree.
Each of our halls is also home to a wardennial system of staff and postgraduate students. This team is available to students who need advice, support or just someone to sit with at dinner. The Student Services team, which includes trained counsellors, can provide advice and support on a range of issues. This includes disabilities, mental health, academic matters, finances or wellbeing.
