University of St Andrews

AAA (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page, which explicitly states no prior knowledge of ancient history is required (distinct from History MA above, which requires prior History study). No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Filed under Creative Arts & Design per the fixed taxonomy, though St Andrews itself houses it in the Faculty of Arts alongside English/History. A real, notable fact: ranked 1st in the UK for History of Art (Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026), with 97% of research rated 3*/4* in REF 2021 -- one of St Andrews' signature programmes. No prior art history knowledge required. No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

AAA, including A in both Mathematics and Physics (min AAB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 in Mathematics and Physics (min 36, HL 6,5,5 with HL5 in both) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course's own page. SAT/ACT figures are the general USA floor, not course-specific. The USA page's 'AP Calculus BC score of 5' overlay names Physics programmes generally, which this astrophysics MPhys sits within.

AAB, including Biology and Chemistry (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 including HL6 in Biology and Chemistry (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page. SAT/ACT are the general USA floor only -- no subject-specific US test overlay found for Biochemistry.

AAB, including Biology and one of Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 including HL6 in Biology and HL6 in one of Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page. SAT/ACT are the general USA floor only -- no subject-specific US test overlay found for Biology.

AAA, including A in Chemistry (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 in Chemistry and HL6 in one of Biology/Computer Science/Economics/Geography/Mathematics/Physics (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page. SAT/ACT are the general USA floor only -- the USA page's AP-Calc-BC overlay is not extended to Chemistry, so no subject-specific US test requirement was found beyond the general floor.

AAA (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Texts studied in translation, no compulsory ancient-language requirement -- distinct from the separate Classics MA/Greek MA/Latin MA programmes at the same school (not listed here). Filed under Humanities. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAB (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Run by the School of Modern Languages; texts studied in English translation, no language prerequisite, available as Single or Joint Honours. No prior comparative literature knowledge required. No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

SAT 1320+ (test-optional)

SAT 1320+ (essay optional, superscored) or ACT 28+ (writing optional, superscored). Page states SAT/ACT are test-optional through the September 2026 entry cycle. CS applicants are also expected to hold AP Calculus BC (or equivalent) at 5.

AAA (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5); SQA Highers AAAB (min AABB) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. No previous knowledge of divinity is required for entry -- a standard four-year undergraduate Honours degree despite the postgraduate-sounding 'BD' title. No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay per the USA entry page (only Mathematics/Physics/Computer Science have one); general USA floor applies.

AAA including A in English or English Literature (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 English (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

UCAS code and A-level/IB checked directly from the English MA (Hons) course page. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay found; relies on the general USA-applicant floor.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. St Andrews has no standalone Business/Finance school; Financial Economics BSc is the finance-focused degree, housed in Economics. Mapped to the fixed taxonomy's 'Economics' value as the closest fit -- no separate Finance category exists. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAB including A in French (min ABB including A in French); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 including French B HL6 or French A SL7 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. A real subject-specific overlay: French at A-level (or equivalent IB language proficiency) is mandatory, not just a general grade floor. Optional integrated year abroad. No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Science-faculty pathway; identical content and entry requirements to Geography MA below per the course's own page, but a distinct real UCAS code. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Arts-faculty pathway version of Geography BSc above -- identical content/requirements per the course's own page, distinct UCAS code.

AAB, including two of Biology/Chemistry/Environmental Science/Geography/Geology/Mathematics/Physics (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 including HL6 in two of Biology/Chemistry/ES&S/Geography/Mathematics/Physics (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page. SAT/ACT are the general USA floor only -- no subject-specific US test overlay found for Geology. Filed under Geography & Environmental Sciences rather than Natural Sciences & Mathematics, same reasoning as Sustainable Development above.

AAA including A in History (min ABB including B in History); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 History (min 36, HL 6,5,5 including HL5 History) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Notably requires prior History study at SQA Higher/A-level/equivalent as a prerequisite, not just a grade floor -- distinct from Ancient History MA below, which requires no prior knowledge. No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. St Andrews has no standalone Business School -- Management BSc/MA is the business-adjacent degree. Science-faculty pathway; identical content and entry requirements to Management MA below, per the course's own page, but a distinct real UCAS code. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Arts-faculty pathway version of Management BSc above -- identical content/requirements per the course's own page, distinct UCAS code.

A*A*A, including A* in Mathematics (min A*AB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 in Mathematics (min 36, HL 6,5,5 with HL6 in Mathematics) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page (note the A*A*A / A* HL6 top grade, unusually high for St Andrews). SAT/ACT are the general USA floor. The USA page's 'AP Calculus BC score of 5' overlay explicitly names Mathematics programmes, so this is a real subject-specific overlay for this course.

AAB, including B in two of Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 including HL5 in two of Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page. SAT/ACT are the general USA floor only -- no subject-specific US test overlay found for Neuroscience.

AAB (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page, which explicitly states no prior knowledge of philosophy is required. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAA, including A in both Mathematics and Physics (min AAB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 in Mathematics and Physics (min 36, HL 6,5,5 with HL5 in both) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course's own entry-requirements page. SAT 1320+/ACT 28+ and test-optional status are St Andrews' general USA floor (st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/entry/usa/), not course-specific. That USA page names Physics as requiring 'AP Calculus BC (or equivalent), score of 5' as a real subject-specific overlay on top of the general floor.

AAB (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page, which states 'entry requirements are the same for all single Honours Psychology degrees.' Science-faculty pathway; identical content to Psychology MA below, distinct real UCAS code. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAB (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Arts-faculty pathway version of Psychology BSc above -- identical content/requirements per the course's own page, distinct UCAS code.

AAB (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Also offered as Joint Honours. Filed under Humanities as the closest fit in the fixed taxonomy -- no dedicated Anthropology bucket exists. No course-specific SAT/ACT overlay; general USA floor applies.

AAA (min ABB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page (no named subject prerequisites beyond the overall grade profile). SAT/ACT are the general USA floor only. Filed under Geography & Environmental Sciences rather than Natural Sciences & Mathematics -- an interdisciplinary environment/development degree, not a lab-science or maths degree.

AAB (min ABB); IB 36, HL 6,6,5 (min 36, HL 6,5,5) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page for grades/UCAS code. Subject classification is a judgment call: filed under Humanities (St Andrews teaches it as critical/theoretical film study within the Faculty of Arts), though 'Creative Arts & Design' or 'Media & Journalism' are also defensible in the fixed taxonomy. No course-specific SAT/ACT; general USA floor applies.

SAT 1320+ (test-optional)

St Andrews' official USA subjects page states SAT 1320+ (essay optional) or ACT 28+ (writing optional) as the general US-applicant standard, and explicitly states SAT/ACT are test-optional for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 application cycles. This is a university-wide figure, not confirmed specific to International Relations -- a third-party-cited course-specific figure (~1480+) was found during research but not confirmed on St Andrews' own site, so it is not published here. Kept at 'partial'.

No direct requirement published

St Andrews' own Medicine (A100) entry-requirements page confirms the UCAT is required but names no SAT, ACT, AP, or GPA figure anywhere -- distinct from the existing St Andrews entries (Computer Science and International Relations), both of which cite a real figure from St Andrews' general USA-applicants subjects page (SAT 1320+/ACT 28+, test-optional). That general-page figure is not restated or confirmed applicable to Medicine on Medicine's own dedicated page, so it is not used here -- a secondary aggregator's unofficial claim of a much higher '1500+/GPA 3.95+' figure for Medicine specifically was found but not corroborated on any official St Andrews page, so it was discarded rather than used. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.

St Andrews' own WDOMS Sponsor Note covers graduation years 1953-1972 only (not current) -- its Medicine BSc (A100) is the preclinical half of the Joint St Andrews/Manchester Medical Course; students complete clinical training and receive their actual medical degree from the University of Manchester, whose own WDOMS Sponsor Note is confirmed current.

AAA including A in History (min ABB including B in History); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 History (min 36, HL 6,5,5 including HL5 History) (test-optional)

Checked directly from the course page. Joint-honours only -- St Andrews does not offer a single-honours Middle East Studies MA; pairs with Arabic, Art History, Classical Studies, Economics, English, Geography, German, Hebrew, International Relations, Management, Medieval History, Modern History, Persian, Russian, or Social Anthropology. No UCAS code was found on this page -- left unset rather than guessed. This page stated '2026 entry' while every sibling St Andrews course page checked this list stated '2027 entry' -- likely a page-update lag on St Andrews' own site, flagged rather than silently normalized to match the others. The grade requirement mirrors History MA's (A-level History mandatory), reflecting that this joint programme's entry bar is driven by the History-pairing default. Subject classification is a judgment call: Humanities chosen over International Relations & Politics since the programme is History/language-area-studies-rooted, not politics-rooted.

A*A*A, including A* in Mathematics (min A*AB); IB 38, HL 6,6,6 including HL6 in Mathematics (min 36, HL 6,5,5 with HL6 in Mathematics) (test-optional)

A-level/IB checked directly from the course page (same A*A*A/A* HL6-Maths profile as the Mathematics degrees). SAT/ACT are the general USA floor. Marked 'partial' rather than 'verified' because it's ambiguous whether the USA page's 'AP Calculus BC score of 5' overlay (which literally names only 'Mathematics, Physics or Computer Science') extends to this Statistics degree -- not applied here since Statistics isn't explicitly named, but the ambiguity is flagged rather than resolved by assumption.
