Further study

Further study allows you to continue studying after you graduate from the University of St Andrews. Though there are many options available, there are two main types of further study:

Postgraduate study

Study for an advanced academic degree related to your first degree.

Professional qualifications

Study for a qualification that will help you pursue a specific future career.

For details on the range of further study programmes available at St Andrews, see the qualifications explained page.

There can be many benefits to further study. However, don't begin further study because you are unsure what else you can do or are concerned about finding a job once you graduate. For advice on your future career direction, take a look at what you can do with your degree or course.

If you would like to discuss your career direction or further study options, you can also book an appointment with a careers adviser.
