St Andrews Hopefuls 2017

-

Good post, just another thing to add is that some applicants can do year 2 entry for some courses, such as those with A-levels or Scottish Advanced Highers.

Haha, what airport would you go to?
They're not really worried as it would give me a chance to become more 'independent', and going by train won't be that expensive especially with my railcard.

Ahhh that's handy! With a railcard for me it's £130 for a SINGLE! 😭
Wonder if they ever come down in price?!
I'd have to fly Cardiff to Edinburgh.
But cardiff airport isnt really near me

Ah damn, where else have you applied mate?

UCL- yet to hear
Bristol and Birmingham

Congrats on the offers, and good luck with UCL. What's your top choice, and what course have you applied for?

Thank you!
History and between UCL (if I were to get an offer) and St A!

Is St A your top?

Haha that's funny, it's between UCL and St A me too, but for Physics. Got an offer from UCL but still waiting to hear back from St A.

I've got a fairly low offer from Edinburgh so I'm definitely planning on insuring that. Also got two offers from Warwick and Nottingham but not really interested in them at all tbh.

Not sure if St A is too small or if London is too big 😂😂

Hahahaha that's fair enough!
I regret not applying to Edinburgh- it was A*AA so no thanks.

Ahh too much maths for me ;-)

For Non - scottish and International students, I will try to explain things.

MAs at the "Ancient" Scottish Universities = StA, Aberdeen, Glasgow. Edinburgh and Dundee all have MAs for their art degrees. I seems to be a quirk with the scottish system as our degrees are 4 years as opposed to the English 3 years, our 1st year is akin to A - levels.

Integrated masters like MEng, MChem, and MPhys are 5 years due to the extra year of the courses up here. You follow the course the same as BSc counterparts for the first three years, then your last two years focus on the masters aspect. Another odd quirk with an ancient uni is the designated degrees. When at these universities, you can leave these unis with a 3 year degree as a stand alone degree.

Hope this helps

Thank you this really helped! I am applying for physics at Edinburgh and St Andrews and I am currently in the IB. I have submitted my application, is it possible to transfer to second year? I don't fancy repeating a year!

Thanks!

Has anyone here applied/got an offer for Classics?
