UNC-CH Sophomores, juniors, and seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or better are eligible to apply. Most of the university's departments are located in one of three groups, corresponding to the original collegiate system. The Arts departments are found near St. Salvator's Quadrangle, St. Mary's College Quadrangle contains Divinity, with the Psychology and Biological and Medical Sciences schools nearby. The modern site, the North Haugh, houses the physical and mathematical sciences, including Computer Science. The university's strong research programs keep both students and teachers learning.
Students take a greater responsibility for their education in Great Britain.
Professors provide reading lists, essay topics, and class time, make their expectations clear, and then expect students to fulfill them. St. Andrews doesn't expect study abroad students to adapt to a new system overnight, however. Professors' doors are usually open, and an academic advisor assists international students adapting to this way of studying. Academic facilities available to students include the University Library, the Computing Laboratory, which has computers available for use on a 24-hour keycard system, and the Language Teaching Services unit. St. Andrews is on the semester system, and classes begin in September and end in May.
