Travel and orientation
Getting to St Andrews
We recommend that you do not fly to the UK via Dublin, Ireland, as this causes problems with immigration into the UK. If you enter the UK via this route you will be required to leave the country after 2 months and return again to ensure the appropriate immigration visa.
For information on the transport provided by the University from Edinburgh Airport please see the Student Services website. If you arrive outside of these designated dates, then information about finding your own way to St Andrews can be found on the Getting To St Andrews webpage.
Orientation Week
For information on 'Orientation' i.e. activities for new students and the advice, help and support available to you during your time in St Andrews, please see the Orientation web pages.
Please note that Orientation is a critical part of your St Andrews experience, and you should plan to arrive in St Andrews at the start of Orientation. As well as a variety of social activities, Orientation includes compulsory events such as matriculation and academic advising.
