Admission notes
The following notes are more up-to-date than those in the University’s Admissions Prospectus.
Asking rates
Our current minimum Asking Rates -- in terms of A-Levels, Scottish Highers, and the International Baccalaureate -- are printed in this year’s Admissions Prospectus. Notwithstanding what is set out below our offer will be framed in terms of these rates.
English at St Andrews attracts a very large number of applicants (about ten for every place available) and is, therefore, highly competitive. The deadlines for printing of the University Prospectus mean that it is produced before the current admissions year has finished. In a very competitive environment the minimum entry requirements do not reflect the real picture of actual Admissions decisions.
