Lara (MLitt Art History, 2024) was drawn by our sense of togetherness: "The academic environment and close-knit community felt like the perfect place to grow intellectually and creatively." That helped shape a career with real purpose. She now works at Christie's London on modern and contemporary Middle Eastern art, driven by a mission to spotlight artists from the region on a global stage.
Anand (MSc Artificial Intelligence, 2022) chose St Andrews for our "strong AI research and interdisciplinary approach." It changed his outlook towards ethical and safe AI. It's a shift that now defines his work as a cybersecurity data science specialist at Volvo Cars, where he builds the systems that keep one of the world's biggest carmakers secure.
Claudio (MSc Finance and Management, 2022) came here looking for more than just a qualification: "I was looking for somewhere I could push myself to learn, develop and grow not only as a student but also as a global citizen." That challenge paid off fast. He moved straight into a three-year graduate programme at Mars Inc., before relocating to France. He's now a senior finance and strategy business partner covering Europe and Central Asia.
