Chancellor's Circle

Legacy bequests have supported many exciting projects, including the redevelopment of our Sports Centre, the Laidlaw Music Centre and the Scottish Oceans Institute. In addition, a significant number of people have established undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships.

If you choose to let us know that you are planning to leave a legacy, we will invite you to join the Chancellor’s Circle to thank you for your generosity and for supporting the University.

Our late Chancellor – The Rt Hon Lord Campbell of Pittenweem CH CBE PC KC FRSE – presided over this exclusive group of alumni and friends from its foundation in 2011 until his death in September 2025.

Members of the Chancellor’s Circle meet regularly with events held each year in St Andrews, London and other locations in the UK and the US.
