UCAS code: S36
St Andrews is a unique combination of ancient and modern, local and global. Founded in 1413, we are the third oldest university in the English-speaking world. The city is quite small; the University accounts for approximately half the population but it has a distinctly cosmopolitan air due to the presence of students and staff from over 140 countries.
