Women’s performance hockey programme
University of St Andrews offers students a world-leading academic education alongside a holistic, athlete-centred performance hockey programme.
Led by Director of Hockey Jamie Carnegie, we aim to deliver the very best support and a comprehensive programme of training and competition to enable our top female student players to harness their full potential and achieve sporting and academic excellence whilst studying at St Andrews.
Our vision is to create a programme in which every player competes to the highest level, works hard and enjoys their hockey experience at university.
Scholarships are aimed at players who are already competing at a high level and who believe they have the necessary attributes to be part of a performance hockey programme whilst studying for their degree in St Andrews.
With world-class facilities, highly experienced coaches, and a comprehensive support programme, you’ll have access to a professional hockey environment enabling you to achieve a world-class education while also fulfilling your sporting ambitions.
