'New College'

Home to the future stars of geopolitics and global business

Global challenges

Society today faces unprecedented and rapidly evolving global challenges – from geopolitical tensions and the existential threat of the climate crisis to economic and health inequalities. It is critical that we inspire the next generation to understand the geopolitical framework in which they operate, and to be socially responsible, ethical and original business thinkers.

Creating leaders to solve tomorrow's problems

‘New College’ is set within the unique context of the University’s seven-century legacy of academic excellence, its tradition of social consciousness, global outlook, vibrant collegiate community and compact size. This £142 million redevelopment will be home to our renowned School of International Relations and new University of St Andrews Business School. Together, they will deliver a curriculum that will incorporate emerging trends such as empathic leadership, resilience in the workforce and the use of AI in strategy to enable us to equip today’s professionals with the skills they require to respond to tomorrow’s global challenges.

How you can support us

Philanthropic leadership has already committed £48.1m to help us realise this once-in-a-lifetime £142m project. Help us to make waves of influence by creating the future domestic and global stars of geopolitics and business.
