University of St Andrews

Perhaps more obviously than any other UK university, St Andrews stands where land meets sea.

This offers us a unique perspective from which to carry out research at the point where earth science meets marine biology. Both have been studied here for over 100 years.

Now we’re planning to bring them together in a new building, a home for original thinking about the earth and its oceans, a centre for research and education that will engage with governments, policy-makers, industry and the public.
