Discover St Andrews Family and Community Learning Day Free learning and activities day - Free
The University is hosting a family and community learning day for school pupils, families, adult learners and anyone curious about studying at St Andrews.
You will be able to explore the University, take part in hands-on activities that are fun and interesting for all the family, and talk with staff and students about studying at St Andrews. Learn about the different routes into higher education, and the support available to learners at all stages. There will be a wide range of exciting activities taking place throughout the day. Most sessions will be hosted inside Younger Hall, where clear signposting will help guide you to each activity and workshop.
Across the venue and beyond there's something for everyone to enjoy. Discover the wonders of natural history at the Bell Pettigrew Museum and explore the fascinating story of Mary Queen of Scots at the Wardlaw Museum, both offering engaging experiences for families. Travel through space with GeoBus and our immersive mobile planetarium, get creative with crafts and colouring, or take part in interactive activities from our Schools of Medicine, Social Anthropology, and Computer Science.
You can also find out more about the MA Combined Studies evening degree, designed especially for part-time students. This flexible programme welcomes those with or without traditional qualifications, offering an accessible route into higher education. At the open day, you'll have the opportunity to meet current students and speak with academic staff to learn more about studying in the evening and how the programme can fit around your commitments.
You will also have the opportunity to take part in sports sessions with student ambassadors, as well as face painting, a scavenger hunt, town tours, and have your photo taken in a traditional red gown by the St Andrews sign. Be sure to visit the Professional Services Fair to meet organisations supporting families and young people, and don't miss the bubbles and ice cream adding a little extra magic to the day.
