Medicine

"Medicine has been taught in St Andrews for nearly 600 years but the approach to medical teaching and research is very much in tune with the 21st Century. After thirty years of clinical work in the field of cancer treatment I believe that the opportunities offered at St Andrews to aspiring doctors are second to none."

Prof Hugh MacDougall
Bute Professor and Dean of Medicine

Medical Research

"Multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches have been central to the continued success of medical research in St Andrews. Internationally recognised research programmes in various aspects of molecular medicine, psychology and community health sciences are currently being promoted and extended. Strategically planned new staff appointments over the next decade, and our move to new purpose-built research facilities within the new Medical School building will provide the infrastructure and academic environment to ensure the sustained development and expansion of medical research in St Andrews in the future."
