community should be diverse and vibrant. At St Andrews our aim is to ensure that our community is made up of the best and brightest students, regardless of the route they have taken to access higher education. We recognise that diversity comes not only through nationality but also from a wide range of backgrounds, experience and educational paths.</p> <p>There are a number of degree routes on offer that give applicants with alternative qualifications or who may have narrowly missed our standard entry requirements due to mitigating circumstances the opportunity to access a university education at St Andrews. These pathways not only provide entry routes, but also come with pre-arrival and transitional support to ensure the students have the best possible start at St Andrews and go on to achieve their full potential.</p> <p>Find out more about <a href="/assets/university/study-at-st-andrews/documents/prospectus-and-brochures/Supported Pathways and Flexible Entry - 2021 Entry.pdf" class="ga-event__download">Supported Pathways</a> <abbr>(PDF)</abbr> .</p> </div> <div id="d.en.200117" class="navbox-grid collapse-bottom"> <div class="row">  <div class="col-sm-6"> <div id="d.en.200118" class="navbox"> <div class="navbox__title"><a href="/study/undergraduate/pathways/gateway/"><span>Gateway programmes</span></a></div></div><p>Gateway programmes offer a number of routes into specific science subjects, medicine (as an alternative to S6) or the Faculty of Arts.</p></div>  <div class="col-sm-6"> <div id="d.en.200119" class="navbox"> <div class="navbox__title"><a href="/study/undergraduate/pathways/fe-he-pathways/"><span>FE-HE programmes</span></a></div></div><p>FE-HE Pathway to Arts and FE-HE Pathway to Science offer supported entry to applicants studying towards alternative entry qualifications at further education colleges.</p></div></div> </div> </div> <aside class="col-sm-4 sidebar content"> <div id="d.en.200186" class="content-section"> <h3>Documents</h3> <ul> <li><a href="/assets/university/study-at-st-andrews/documents/gateway-programmes-24 accessible update.pdf" class="ga-event__download">Gateway Programmes Brochure 2024</a> <abbr>(PDF)</abbr></li> <li><a href="/assets/university/study-at-st-andrews/documents/FE-HE Programmes booklet 2024.pdf" class="ga-event__download">FE-HE Pathways Brochure 2024</a> <abbr>(PDF)</abbr></li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </main>  <footer id="footer"> <div id="website-footer"> <div id="d.en.204626" class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-4"> <h2>Contact</h2> <p><strong>Admissions</strong><br />University of St Andrews<br />St Katharine's West<br />The Scores<br />St Andrews<br />KY16 9AX</p> <p><strong>Phone:</strong> <a href="tel:+44 (0)1334 46 2150">+44 (0)1334 46 2150</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.admissions.st-andrews.ac.uk/ask-admissions/">Ask Admissions</a></li> <li><a href="/study/policy/">Admissions policy</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="university-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <p id="footer-charity" >漏 2025 The University of St Andrews is a charity registered in Scotland, No: SC013532</p> <ul id="footer-links"> <li><a class="footer-links__link cookie-control__open" aria-controls="ccc" tabindex="0">Cookie preferences</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/digital-standards/accessibility/accessibility-statement/" class="footer-links__link">Accessibility statement</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/terms/" class="footer-links__link">Terms and conditions</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/help/" class="footer-links__link">Website help</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cdn/dpl/1.27.4/scripts/core.min.js" ></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cdn/dpl/1.27.4/scripts/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cdn/dpl/1.27.4/scripts/datatables.js"></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cdn/dpl/1.27.4/scripts/lightbox.min.js"></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cdn/dpl/1.27.4/scripts/gallery.js"></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/s/resources-global/js/typeahead.bundle-0.11.1.min.js"></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/s/resources-global/js/handlebars-4.0.5.min.js"></script> <script src="https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/s/resources-global/js/funnelback.autocompletion-2.6.0.js"></script> <script> jQuery(document).ready(function() { // ARIA $('.breadcrumbs li:last-child').attr('aria-current', 'page');
