University of St. Andrews (in UK)for international relations

Hello St Andrews is a small town (population ~18,000) in Scotland which is pretty far up north, on the east coast. The university has a very good reputation both nationally and internationally. Accoording to The Times Good University Guide 2005 the university ranked 7th in UK. I assume International Relations is under the subject Politics, in that case their ranking by subject (Politics) was also the 7th in the UK. They also have an excellent Research Assessment Exercise rating (good if you are doing research). Their entry requirements are high as a result of their reputation, which on average is AAB. Just to mention, Price William of Wales is also an alumni of the uni, doing geography.

Hope this helps :)

其實我認為行內人一望就知 St Andrews 係好学校. 一般香港人普遍都淨係識 UCL Imperial LSE Manchester Liverpool Birmingham Oxbridge 等等, 所以唔駛介意 St Andrews 响香港出唔出名嘅. 最緊要係睇你成積好唔好, 英文流唔流利, 同個人修養.

St Andrews is a well-known university in UK, it is ok for International Politics but more famous for fine art. I doubt it is very famous in Hk, but it is famous for educated Prince William - if that counts.

of course the entry requirement is demanding, It is a good university after all.

Ha! I have played golf at St. Andrews. It is the original place of golf. Very good for playing golf but not its university. The university is small and not famous. Only little prince had studied there. Are you a Hongese? If you are a Briton and fond of golf, it's ok. If u are a Hongese, it seems that you are wasting your time to study (but not playing golf) there.

St Andrews is a boring place. It takes 3 hrs to Edinburgh and a whole day to London. U can only play golf during the summer but by that time u will go back to HK to see your mom. If u wanna to learn the Scottish culture, why not Edinburgh or Stirling (They were once capital cities of Scotland)

St. Andrews 的國關是算一算二的
