About St Andrews School of Medicine
The School of Medicine employs approximately 220 staff in either full- or part-time contracts, with some staff jointly employed by the University and the NHS, and has approximately 140 honorary staff. About 40 Professional Services staff are employed to support the delivery of teaching. The School's two primary functions are medical research and the teaching of 620 undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students. UG students are studying either a three-year BSc (Hons) Medicine course or a four-year graduate-entry medical degree (ScotGEM).
ScotGEM is a new, four-year, graduate entry course, delivered jointly by the Universities of St Andrews and Dundee in collaboration with the University of the Highlands and Islands and NHS Scotland, leading to a jointly awarded MBChB. The programme has a particular focus on Generalist Medicine in rural areas and utilises a Case-Based Learning approach. Years 1 and 2 are primarily based in St Andrews, although placements occur in four Scottish regions. The first students matriculated in Autumn 2018.
Since 2010, the School has been located in purpose-built accommodation on the North Haugh in St Andrews. The building is home to staff offices, research labs, teaching facilities and a café. The North Haugh campus houses many of the science-based Schools in the University.
The School is consistently ranked highly in national student satisfaction surveys for the quality of its teaching, being first place in UK Medical Schools in 2021. In REF 2021, 86% of the School’s submission to the Clinical Medicine panel was rated World Leading or Internationally Excellent. Two out of the three impact cases that the School submitted came from the Division of Infection & Global Health. Overall, 50% of the impact was rated 4* and 50% was rated 3*.
The School is committed to equal opportunities and values all applicants. It holds the Athena SWAN Bronze accreditation and fully supports flexible working, where compatible with role requirements.
