How long does a masters offer take to arrive?

Hi all, does anyone here have experience applying to St Andrews for a masters? After an application is submitted, how long should it take before a decision is made? Thank you all.

I applied for a CS masters at the start of March and had a response by the end of March, so that's one data point. Might be faster, might be slower. Probably depends on faculty, time of year, how many folk are in the queue, how quickly your references respond, maybe whether you're international (no idea about that), other stuff. It'll vary.

Thank you for replying! Are you doing Computer Science MSc?

Not quite, Artificial Intelligence MSc. However you have the choice of graduating with whichever MSc you like as long as you've taken and passed the required courses (and your dissertation fits, presumably), so you can be fairly flexible.

I have received an offer with Human machine interaction . It took just 4 days for me. I have applied on Monday, and offer received on Friday. Are you going to St. Andrews? is it your first priority ?
