The Rectors' Fund

A new fund to help make internships affordable for St Andrews students has been set up by the Rector Alistair Moffat and the Rector's Assessor, Chloe Hill. Open only to third year students who want to take up an internship in the summer vacation before their final year, the fund will offer a standard grant of £500 to students taking up both unpaid and paid internships. Students will be expected to demonstrate that without the support of the fund, they would be unable to take up the offer of internship. Applications should be on one page and emailed to Chloe at ch564@st-andrews.ac.uk. Closing date: Monday 28 January 2013. More information can be found at The Rectors' Fund.

The Principal's Medal

The Principal's Medal is awarded to students who display exceptional endeavour and achievement during their time at St Andrews.

Up to three awards will be available each year. Each award carries a value of £1,000 in addition to a specially produced medal. Nominations may be made either by the individual concerned or by someone on their behalf. To be eligible for nomination, students must be either in their final year of undergraduate study or be a postgraduate student. The closing date for 2012/2013 nominations is Friday 1 March 2013.

Deans' List

This is an annual award for academic excellence, promoted by the four Deans of the University.

Undergraduate students who achieve an outstanding overall result in the course of an academic year have their names inscribed on the Deans' List, an honour which will also appear on your University transcript.

The criteria for the award are strict. Only students taking no fewer than 120 credits counting towards an approved degree programme over the course of an academic year will be eligible and all credits have to be taken within the four Faculties of the University of St Andrews.

Study abroad is excluded from the scheme, although incoming students from other universities will be eligible provided they meet all other criteria.

Students who meet all the criteria and who obtain a credit-weighted mean grade of 16.5 or above for the year will be recorded on the Deans' List. The rules will be adapted for part-time students, who must achieve the minimum credit-weighted mean of 16.5 in 120 credits taken part-time over no more than three academic sessions.

Full details of all the criteria and conditions for the Deans' List are available at http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/administration/deans/deanslist/
