I like the wide range of modules available within my degree and getting the chance to know and study under some great professors. The support within the uni is great, the is support for work and also great support for any personal issues.
View moreThe University of St Andrews was easily the best decision I made. I’m currently going into my last year and I’m so sad that my 4 years are coming to an end – I never want to leave. Being such a small town, St. Andrews gives you such a community feel, everyone becomes family. I’ve met some really cool people, made super important connections and found friends for life. I came in wanting to only study management, but I will leave having done a joint honours in Economics and management. St Andrews gives you a lot of flexibility to really find the course you love and guide you impeccably through the whole process. It is a lot of hard work but I found my course so well structured and interesting that it made me want to put in that extra work, and the professors are super hands-on and helpful too. All in all, my experience has been absolutely amazing – apart from the terrible weather of course!
View moreFirst of all, I love the city of St Andrews and I am 100% sure I made the right choice when choosing this University (thank God, cause one of my biggest fears was regretting my choice). Anyway, it is very international (I, for example, am from Brazil) and my friends come from all over the world, which is amazing. I love the atmosphere of the city and of the University itself and I feel extremely comfortable there and at home. I do like my courses and professors, some more than others but that is to be predicted since it depends on your personal preferences. I do think however that classes could be more practical (very few are) with more case studies where you can actually apply your knowledge to the real-word, I think one of St Andrews biggest flaws is that it is very theoretical. Having said that, it is an extremely prestigious university so I think the chances of getting a good job are quite high, I for example have gotten prestigious internships at home and in London. However, I do feel it depends on each student own effort and capabilities, so the University could definitely better prepare us for job applications
