Brand Toolkit

Represent the University of St Andrews with clarity, confidence and consistency


The Brand Toolkit brings together the key resources, guidelines and examples you need to communicate about, and on behalf of, the University in a way that reflects who we are and what we stand for. By following this guidance, every member of our community can play a part in strengthening and protecting our reputation through clear, professional and impactful visual and written communication.

As Scotland’s first university, our reputation shapes how people perceive us and influences their decisions, whether they choose to study with us, collaborate with us, work with us or support us. This toolkit is designed to help ensure that every interaction, from international conferences to VIP visits, consistently showcases the excellence and values of St Andrews to audiences around the world.

We hope you find these tools helpful and easy to use. If there’s something missing or you’d like further support, please contact marketing@st-andrews.ac.uk.
