About the Program
The St Andrews program offers students the opportunity to live and study in a medieval city at a centuries-old university, while enjoying Scottish culture and everyday life in a charming seaside college-town. A wide range of courses are offered at the University of St Andrews – including art history, astrophysics, Biblical studies and divinity, biology, chemistry, classic and modern languages, comparative literature, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, economics, international relations, medieval studies, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, sustainable development, and more. The university also offers several courses each term focused on Scottish and U.K. studies. You may choose to participate in a single fall or spring semester or a full academic year.
Outside the classroom, rich campus student life, university traditions, and other opportunities contribute to your experience of Scottish culture. Included field trips to locations throughout the country give you a chance to explore surrounding areas and deepen your knowledge and understanding of Scottish culture and history.
There are several excellent reasons for deciding to study in Scotland. Courses at Scottish universities are taught by professors who do almost all the teaching and seminar work with undergraduates while maintaining a high level of research activity. Although English is widely spoken throughout the United Kingdom, Scotland has maintained its own diverse traditions, values, and views of the world. Time in Scotland will challenge you personally, open your eyes to different ways of looking at the current topics in our world, and enable you to experience Scottish culture and history.
