The University, Students’ Association, Societies and the Athletic Union organise a whole series of social and academic activities during Orientation Week. Find out more about Orientation Week at the University.

As well the University Orientation events, the School of Medicine is organising a programme specifically for new medical students to help you prepare for the beginning of your course. The full programme can be found on this page in the medhandbook, linked under ‘Orientation Week Programme’

Join your fellow medics before you come to St Andrews on the “St Andrews Medic Freshers 2024/25” Facebook page (available soon).
