St Andrews > Edinburgh

Did you know we tied with Durham this year?

| UPDATED

This year’s edition of the Complete University Guide has St Andrews placed as 5th in the UK, a slip from 4th place (ahead of Durham – how things can change within a year).  Our student satisfaction levels surpass Oxbridge, placing us ahead of the others in the top 5. To add to the praise, we here at St Andrews are among the top 100 in the world for Arts and Humanities, Social Science, and Science – isn’t it impressive when you compare it with how wee we are compared to our rival institutions.

To top off the list of accolades, we are still the best university in Scotland. Edinburgh comes in at 20th and our beloved friends across the Tay came in at 42nd. Who dares call us ‘red gowned weirdos’ now!
