Visiting postgraduate students
The School welcomes postgraduate students from other institutions for periods of study in St Andrews. The School offers supervision by members of academic staff, depending on their availability.
Previously, visitors have come from the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Germany and Denmark.
Erasmus exchanges
St Andrews has Erasmus agreements with the Universities of Leiden and Cologne. The Leiden agreement covers the Schools of Classics, Art History, Divinity and History. The Cologne agreement is for History, including Ancient History.
Students coming under this arrangement should:
- Discuss what teaching the School can offer by emailing the School's postgraduate secretary at classpgr@st-andrews.ac.uk
- Ensure that the teaching is acceptable to the authorities at their home university.
- Complete the Erasmus application form supplied by their home university.
Erasmus students are not charged tuition fees by St Andrews.
