Program Description:
TD-UStAndrews
IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS PARTNERSHIP
Geotag  St Andrews, Scotland

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
St. Andrews is the quintessential university town and also full of history dating back to the sixth century. Cobbled streets link the university and the town together and help to create a strong sense of community. St. Andrews is also the world-famous home of golf. Students who have a handicap that meets the standards of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club can play on the Old Course of St. Andrews for a surprisingly reasonable fee.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
With a history that began in 1413, it’s no wonder Scotland’s oldest university is big on traditions, like donning red academic gowns and plunging into the North Sea before exams in May. With 8,000 students, St Andrews is smaller than many UK universities, allowing for both individual attention and academics that rival Oxford and Cambridge, in everything from international relations to computer and environmental science.  

Themes—like Scotland, Sustainability, Travel and Exploration, Science for Arts Majors, Unique to St Andrews and Community—help visiting students find interesting classes. Plus, your Advisor of Studies will explain the academic system and help you choose your modules (classes). The school has its own marine lab (check out aquatic ecology, biology and marine science classes—including one that explores the social interactions of whales and dolphins).  

When it’s time for a break, meet friends on Market Street or hang out on one of the town’s three gorgeous beaches. To see more of Scotland and the UK, hop a bus to Dundee (13 miles away), where it’s an easy journey to Edinburgh or Glasgow, and four to six hours to London by train.  

You can’t leave Scotland without exploring more of its raw natural beauty. Your IFSA Highland excursion makes it easy, with no extra fees. Explore icons like the Three Sisters peaks, Loch Ness, and Dunnottar Castle, as you share an insider’s view of the historical events that shaped this country’s history and culture. Special activities give you an insider’s view of the city that many tourists miss.
