Philosophy at St Andrews

Coursework submission

All coursework is to be submitted electronically, via the Module Management System (MMS).

For full guidance on how to submit your work via MMS, read the Student Guide to MMS.

Coursework should be word-processed, double-spaced with one-and-a-half inch (4cm) margins (exceptions may apply to logic exercises requiring use of symbols). Coursework is marked anonymously, and so submitted work should be identified only by your matriculation number.

Do not put your name anywhere on your coursework. On the first page of your coursework, you should include: your matriculation number, the module name and number, your tutor's name, the title of the essay/exercise, and the following statement: 'I hereby declare that the attached piece of written work is my own work and that I have not reproduced, without acknowledgement, the work of another'.

Please note that coursework must be in one of the following formats:

  • Word document (saved as .doc, not .docx - if you are using the latest versions of Word make sure you save your file as a Word 97-2004 document); or
  • Rich Text (rtf); or
  • Adobe PDF (pdf)
