Information for accepted students

I will generally speak to you individually about your proposed study.

However, here is a quick checklist of the most important things to check before you go abroad:

Course choices

  • Make sure we have discussed the kinds of course options acceptable to the School of International Relations before you leave and signed a learning contract.
  • Make sure you also e-mail me about the final course options you have signed up for, so I can approve them once you arrive.

Grade transfer

  • Make sure you have collected a copy of the St Andrews grade transfer tables so you know what your targets are whilst abroad.

Practicalities

  • Make sure you have made sensible insurance provisions for your time away (these are organised differently in different places).
  • Check VISA requirements and make sure you have the correct VISA.
  • Make sure you have worked out functional financial arrangements for your time away.

Forms

  • You will need to fill in application forms for your chosen University. The International Office organises this for North American schemes. For ERASMUS, please contact Prof Ian Taylor.
