Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : United College, St Andrews

The United College (in full, United College of St Salvator and St Leonard) is one of the two colleges of the University of St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. It was founded in 1747 by the merger of St Salvator's College and St Leonard's College when the University was in decline.

Today, the College encompasses the Faculties of Arts, Medicine and Science and is nominally headed by the Master of the United College. It no longer functions as an administrative body and its use is purely formal. The other college of the University is St Mary's College which encompasses the University's Faculty of Divinity.
