University of St Andrews

St Andrews is Scotland's first university and the third oldest in the English speaking world, founded in 1413. Over six centuries it has established a reputation as one of Europe's leading and most distinctive centres for teaching and research.

The University of St Andrews was awarded Scottish University of the Year 2008-2009 in The Sunday Times University Guide 2008 and placed fifth in the UK, the highest ever ranking for a Scottish institution and according to the newspaper "the highest-placed multi-faculty university behind Oxbridge".

St Andrews was placed sixth in The Sunday Times UK University Guide table 2007 and again tops the Guide's league table of Scottish universities and runner up for The Sunday Times UK University of the Year award.

The newspaper said: 'St Andrews has equalled its highest-ever ranking this year with a string of improvements in performance during the past year. Our Scottish University of the Year in 2006 and a winner of the UK University of the Year title back in 2002, this is the nearest a former winner of the UK title has come to repeating the trick.'

The Times Good University Guide

In the Times Good University Guide 2007 the University was named Scottish university of the year and attributed the award to the 'University's consistently outstanding teaching and research' combined with its success in the National Student Survey which measured student satisfaction with teaching and resources at their university. St Andrews students rated themselves as the top mainstream university in the UK (second only to the Open University).

In May 2007 St Andrews was named fourth best university in the UK and the 'big success story' of this year's Guardian University Guide. Its environmental credentials were also recognised in June 2007 when it was rated one of the greenest universities in the UK in the Times Higher Education Supplement 'green league' in joint top place in Scotland and joint eighth place in the UK. St Andrews was commended for its carbon emissions, recycling rates and energy consumed from renewable resources.
