The University of St Andrews is Scotland’s oldest university, founded in 1411 by the medieval Scottish Church and King James I of Scotland. Its sexcentenary will commence in 2011, and we invite the world’s classification societies to join in our 600-year anniversary celebrations.

The Sunday Times University Guide ranked St Andrews “ Scottish University of the Year” in 2008 and top in Scotland. IFCS-11 will be hosted by the School of Management at the Gateway, rated “Excellent” in the RAE review, 2008. The School recently hosted very successful meetings of the European Academy of Management and the British Academy of Management.


St Andrews is well-known as the “Home of Golf”, where the rules of golf are set by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded in 1764. The IFCS-11 conference dinner can be held at the St Andrews Old Course Hotel or the St Andrews Links Clubhouse, overlooking the famous Old Course, the oldest golf course in the world. Excellent conference dinners and receptions are also held in the ancient Lower College Hall of St Salvator’s College, set in the heart of the Old Town.
