St Andrews 2025 Postgraduate Applicants

9

Hi everyone. Creating this thread here because the official one seems to be for undergrads. Has anyone here applied for postgrad programmes or heard anything back yet?

I'm international, applying for an MLitt (sent my application on 20 January), and have been on "under consideration" for a while now. Not sure what to expect

Would love to hear your stories/experiences. Good luck to all!

Hi! I have recently accepted at offer for postgrad at St Adrews just a few days ago. (Data-Intensive Analysis Msc) It didn't take the admission team very long after my second reference was submitted, but it did take a couple weeks. I'd love to hear more peoples experiences also :smile:

Hi! I just got a offer to study a MLitt at St Andrews! I’m so excited! Honestly, I took them like 10 days to come up with a decision.

Me too! So nervous! But they take their sweet time to make a decision from what I've heard. Hope your interview went well!

Congratulationsssss! So your application status was on "pending decision" for 10 days, or is it that you received their response 10 days after applying?

Hi, do you know what "with committee" status of the scholarship application means? (also, my main application is still "under consideration")

I applied on the 22th of December for the Economics MSc and got an offer the 15th of January. In the meantime I checked the portal once or twice a week but never noticed the status changing, I think it stayed as "under consideration" until the very last moment.
