Overview

The International Education programme at the University of St Andrews is run by the International Education and Lifelong Learning Institute (IELLI).

Highlights

In addition to the five compulsory modules, choose three optional modules and a dissertation topic to explore your interests.

Modules are taught by an interdisciplinary team from different parts of the University and by guest speakers to provide input from a range of academic and practical backgrounds.

Study modules in the applied management and organisational behaviour aspects of leading an organisation, as well as modules related to teaching and learning.

Discuss theoretical concepts and frameworks and apply these through assessments, in small groups, and in writing in online forums.
