Student experience at St Andrews

Students at the University of St Andrews are more positive about their education than students at any other mainstream university in the UK, according to the results of the National Student Survey 2024. St Andrews also came top in the UK for academic support and learning resources in the survey.

Life here is centred around an internationally renowned teaching system. However, it is the huge range of additional opportunities only St Andrews can provide which creates a unique experience. St Andrews is a small university. Students have the opportunity to interact with staff, integrate with each other, and to feel a sense of belonging. They are active in politics, charity fundraising, volunteering locally, and in playing a governance role in how their services are run.

Our students leave St Andrews with an education that goes far beyond their degree.
