概要

St Andrewsについて

The University of St Andrews, founded in 1413, is the oldest university in Scotland and the third-oldest in the English-speaking world. Despite its ancient heritage, St Andrews has surged in recent rankings and is now consistently ranked as the top UK university outside Oxford and Cambridge in multiple league tables.

  • 01

    St Andrews is a small, focused university with around 10,000 students. It does not offer engineering or law at undergraduate level, instead concentrating on arts, sciences, medicine, and divinity. This focus creates an exceptionally tight-knit academic community where students know their lecturers personally.

  • 02

    Located in the historic coastal town of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, the university and town are virtually inseparable — university buildings are woven throughout the town. The unique traditions (academic families, May Dip, Raisin Weekend) create a student experience unlike any other UK university.
