University Arms The School of Computer Science is a centre of excellence for computer science teaching and research with staff and students from Scotland and all parts of the world.

We offer BSc, MSc, MPhil and PhD degree programmes and are active in research in the fundamentals of computer science, networking and distributed systems, artificial intelligence and software systems engineering.

The School has been very highly ranked in the 2010 league tables, being ranked second in the United Kingdom in the Guardian University Guide and fourth in the The Complete University Guide. You will be in great company since the University was ranked third in the country by the Guardian and also first in the country in the National Student Survey among mainstream Universities. If you are thinking about studying at St Andrews, you are very welcome to come and visit us to see for yourself. There are visiting days on Wednesdays throughout the year.
