Pre-orientation
If you are getting ready to start your studies at St Andrews, this section offers advice, support and guidance for new students. For definitions of key University terms like 'orientation week' and 'matriculation', visit the glossary.
Vaccinations
Students coming to University for the first time, including overseas and mature students should contact their healthcare professional and ensure they are up to date on their vaccinations, including the MenACWY vaccine (if under 25), and the double dose MMR vaccine.
