Taught postgraduate students
During your time at St Andrews you will develop in many different ways, and will build a range of skills that should support you to graduation and beyond.
There are many development opportunities open to you, offered through a number of University centres, services, clubs and societies. This web page outlines six adevelopmental areas which you can explore in greater depth.
We would recommend that you aim to develop in all of these areas, and keep a log of what you do and when. This could come in very handy when writing your CV or applying for jobs!
MSkills is a brand new development programme specifically for taught postgraduate students. It aims to help you do 4 four things:
- make the most of St Andrews,
- get through your course,
- find a job, and
- get set for the workplace.
