University of St Andrews

School of Physics & Astronomy

St Andrews hosts Scotland’s first university and the third oldest in the English-speaking world, it was founded in 1413. The astronomy group embraces star and planet formation (Bonnell, Greaves, Wood), planet detection (Cameron, Dominik, Horn), magnetic fields and stellar activity (Jardine), and astrobiology (Greaves, Helling). The astrophysics group has nine permanent faculty in all, of whom seven work on discs and closely related areas such as star formation and planet detection, covering a broad range of theory and observation. There are also nine research fellows and post-doctoral assistants working in these areas, plus a similar number of students researching for a PhD in these topics.
