Choosing your course

Studying at St Andrews is an opportunity to learn at one of the most extraordinary universities in the world. Most of our degree programmes are four years long and our flexible degree structure allows you to study multiple subjects.

Deciding what you want to study at university can be difficult. It can be helpful to consider:

  • What subjects do you enjoy?
  • What careers are you interested in?
  • How do you want to study (full time or part time?)
