Alumni
All those who studied at St Andrews from 1579 to 1897 have an entry in the Biographical Register of the University of St Andrews, which is available in print or searchable online.
Our VIP teams have been transcribing the records of students since 1898, and researching their lives. They will eventually form part of a revised/expanded edition of the Biographical Register, but until that moment, we share some of them here. You can browse through the articles below, explore via the tag cloud (right), or search via the searchbox (top right).
