Collaborations & Study Abroad Team
Sam, Emily, Andrea, Jane and Gill (Admissions)
Our team is part of the Registry unit based in St Katharine's West on The Scores. The team provides central administration for University exchange and study abroad programmes, and programmes delivered collaboratively with other institutions, both in the UK and overseas. Our remit is to provide services to Schools; services to St Andrews students studying or working abroad for credit, or participating in a collaborative programme; and services to all incoming exchange and study abroad students. We work closely with colleagues in Schools, the Proctor's Office, Admissions, Finance, and Student Services, as well as partners across the world.
Our remit also includes management of the University's Erasmus Extended University Charter, which enables the University to enter into Erasmus agreements and operate Erasmus Student and Staff Mobility.
Please get in touch with us if you have any comments or questions about our service.
